The first law of thermodynamics says that energy cannot be created or destroyed by only changes form. Now we look at the physical world around us and we look at the trees, the sun.
The sun is radiating energy down to us. That sun warms us. It lands on the leaves of plants. Plants take it in. The plants are also pulling up nutrients from the ground below. They are using the energy from above and the nutrients from below. They produce food for us, food for other creatures. The creatures are eaten by other creatures. Somewhere in the line the creatures may also become food for us.
We are consuming the energy from the sun, the nutrients from the earth. That energy is now part of us. We are that energy.
How will we use this energy?
What feeds your joy?
What feeds your heart?
When we are living in what feeds us we will be able to blossom. We will support and nourish others just by being.
This cycles of energy continues and continues. However, the plant, our bodies they do not continue endlessly. They are finite. We will die one day. We have lost others. There will be births and joy. There will be death and loss. This cycle will continue if we continue to nourish the cycle.
Breathe. Remember the sun and the plants. Remember those who came before us. Those who shared their energies with the world. That energy stays with us. Those words, experiences, lessons; they stay with us. And we will stay with others, when we share our energy.
The laws of nature will not change, but we can change the way we view our world, the way we act or react.
Tomorrow is a new day.
Be grateful.
Use your energy well. Take care of yourself. Take care of beings beyond yourself. Check in with others. Check in with yourself.
Love.
