I am forever fascinated by the fact that we are just bits of creation in a universe that is beyond a size and power than what we can even imagine. How would I be so lucky to have been born into a life that is free within my personal vicinity from war, severe poverty, massive trauma or destruction. Some of you, like me, who has the opportunity to pretty much do and purchase what we want (within rational reason) when we want....we have already won the lottery of life.

You are a winner !! What a good start to the day ;)

Gratitude !!!

"In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant—it is said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another. For instance, chemical energy can be converted to kinetic energy in the explosion of a stick of dynamite."
This definition is straight from my other internet love, Wikipedia. I love learning and being wrong so I can know what the other side is like.

We know of light because of darkness. Without contrast, we would know nothing except the one dimension of nothingness...no thanks, boooorrrrring. Let's light it up and see the polar opposites, the ends of the spectrum and then come back to the middle road to discuss.

"A consequence of the law of conservation of energy is that a perpetual motion machine of the first kind cannot exist. That is to say, no system without an external energy supply can deliver an unlimited amount of energy to its surroundings."
Ahhhh...interdependence as a physics law. Yes ! We can feed from moving into creativity and creating channels through the despair of not knowing what is going to happen next. Away with anxiety and uncertainty and misery and despair and loneliness.

And what was described as the living force of the system, the vis viva ?
"In mechanical systems, masses with weight and velocity would experience a conservation of energy so long as the masses did not interact."
To me, this shows up as not making others responsible for how I am feeling. Not making it their fault that I am making choices as to my experience of them and their process. It is not anyone's job to do anything just to please me. I am not dependent on them pleasing me, neither do I intend to control their choices. I can offer opinion and opportunity to move in a different direction than the path that person is choosing, but at the end of the day, I will allow me to be in charge of me.
The Interdependent me sees my experience as a part of the momentum and I choose to use the experience to gain strength and wisdom.
