I eat and am satisfied. And then I become hungry again.

I lay on the grass and the Sun chases the chills away. Light warms my bones comfortably and the soft breeze and corresponding sound of leafs is music to one’s ears. I am content. What more could I ask for?

Time goes by, and I am restless. Where has the contentedness gone? Has the content changed so?

Biological activity is at its base merely physics unfolding. If a rock is in its perfect state, can it remain so? No, the rock will eventually succumb to weather.

The state of things is such as it is because of a perpetual unfolding. This is related to the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics: one can observe the instantaneous position of a particle, or one can observe the velocity of a particle moving through some portion of space, but one cannot observe both simultaneously. Things do not exist in a fixed state, for they are always in motion. Things do not exist ever in motion, because in the moment they are present in only one place.

How am I to be content? The content of the present is all there is to conceive, yet it is destined to change, for it could not exist if it were not for its flux.

I give thanks to the microbial kingdom and to the elements; may the backbones of life be appreciated and in mutually regenerative peace, peace, peace, One Love.
