Tick tock… tick tock…
The clock of life ticks away…
Yesterday we learned about another death in the family, one of my uncles. Don’t worry, I haven’t seen him in more than 20 years and had no emotional bond with him anymore, but I feel for my cousins for losing their dad. Lots of childhood memories were and still are in my mind, and all of those include my mom, which brings back my own pain.
But, one of the things I constantly thought about is that the clock of life ticks away. We never know how much time we have left, and that’s good. Live every day of your life as if it’s the last. Carpe diem and all that. I know, I don’t do that either, because none of us are busy with the ending of our own lives, but if you stop to think about it, the clock ticks… tick tock, tick tock…

Life is too short and yet, no matter what, we all seem to end up wasnting time on the trivial and mundane.
Wow! That’s a bloody awesome image. And the words add power to the post. Xx
Really clever idea; I love the symbolism of placing a clock in the crux of where life begins.
Time does pass so quickly, the older you are the faster it seems to go. My son is about to be 19 and yet it feels like only yesterday he was starting school

This is a very clever idea for a photo! I must admit I panic often about the tick tock of life.

Time goes far too quickly – my dad passing made me realise that x
It’s hard to think how fast time passes. Each birthday makes me think about it. Great picture
What an amazing shot. I agree it really is a thing “time” best not to know how long you have. This music video used to fascinate me – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JQiEs32SqQ
It does tick away, yes. And this is a beautiful way of illustrating it.
You look so perfectly hairless here, I want to look like that!
