And the days are not  long enough,

And the nights are not long enough,

And life slips by like a fieldmouse,

Not shaking the grass.

These poignant lines by Ezra Pound will resonate with all of us, young and not so young. 

When we say, "I'm running out of time", what does that mean?  One gets the feeling that I am actually doing the running.  

When we say "I'm running out of energy," or out of money, or out of space, etc. we also subconsciously assume that we are doing the running. 

Let's turn the object into the subject.  

Time is running out.  Money is running out.  Energy is running out.  Space is running out.  It's not the most popular way of expressing the idea  but it's less stress-inducing.

Let time run.  

Let time slip by.

Instead of being swept along with it, let us sit back and watch.

The irony is that time slows down when you sit back and decide that the days are, indeed, long enough. Scarcity eventually gives way to abundance.

The blade of grass comes to life.

Life comes to life.
