It’s a cosmic convection cycle.

Galaxies are energy radiating out, as form coalesces in.

Our bodies have the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems to process the energy driving us on, along with the central nervous system to sort through all the forms precipitating out and referee the emotions and impulses bubbling up.

Societies are these essential organic energies bubbling up, as civil and cultural forms sort through and coalesce into whatever best ties them together.

Time is not so much the point of the present, moving past to future, as it is change turning future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Processes churn along, while the patterns generated rise and fall. As consciousness goes past to future, while thoughts go future to past.

Like those galaxies, the energy going one way and the forms going the other.

One propelling and the other defining.
