I have always had a fascination with clocks and watches. I admire the craftsmanship that goes into their designs. Digital clocks are fine, but I prefer traditional clocks and watches with minute and second hands. There is something about the consistent reliability of watching the hands move around the face of a clock. No matter what stage of life you are in, time never stops moving forward.

The hands of the clock are a metaphor for life. The good and bad times are never permanent, and as we move through life, we experience both. When things are going well, we want those experiences to last. In contrast, when we go through hard times, we want those periods to end as quickly as possible; however, time never stops. It just keeps moving forward.
