Life is to sand in a constricted vessel as a sailboat in a breeze is to a model in a bottle.
Not to say that an hourglass figure is just a figure of speech, but that the hourglass itself, symbolic of any life meter, is a metaphor that has a similar effect on thought as a corset does on breath.
We all use metaphors, more or less consciously, to grasp our perceptions of what we experience.
The idea of changing our perceptions by changing a metaphor that we measure life by, may seem laughable to reason, yet ring true to intuition. Or the other way around. In either case we’re laughing.
To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower, hold an hourglass figure in the palm of your hand, and lose your mind for an hour.
