“The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
–Jean-Paul Sartre (Source: Wordsmith.org)
Sadly, as some people age, rather than seeing things more clearly and broadening their horizons, they instead choose to hide their head in the sand. From that position, they are especially susceptible to being, uh, used, always in the dark, and unlikely to be able to move very far without losing their head.

About russtowne
I'm awed by the beauty of nature and the power of love and gratitude. Some of my favorite sensory experiences include waves crashing on rocky shores, waterways in ancient redwood and fern-filled forests, and rain. My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of approximately 60 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children.
Russ Towne's A Grateful Man 
Wise words Russ! I never understood it either, but maybe it’s easier to hide and run than face things.
Thank you! I think inaction is sometimes based on fear, inertia, laziness, and/or ignorance. I have been guilty of all four at vasrious times.
