According to the laws of thermodynamics energy can neither be created nor destroyed.  It can be changed but all that is has always been and will always be.  If that is the case, why do we go around with this fear of the end or the destruction?  Why do we worry that we must get something done before it’s too late if whatever it is never gets destroyed?  There is no fear of whether or not energy will last.  We get wedded to the context and form of what it is we want to last.  We hold the expectation of the energy in that form to not change or fear it changing before we experience it.  God holds no expectations.  God is not held by our fears.  God is the lasting energy.  As I began to open up my eyes to how God was showing up outside my expectations of God, I began to chip away at the fear.  Being open to the change of God’s presence because I trusted in it lasting outside of my definitions has made life as a whole less fearful.  I am less wedded to energy in any form staying the form I am experiencing it in today whether that is a relationship with a family member, a job, the look of a person, the song I hear on the radio, or even what I see when I look in the mirror.  Being within the presence of what is lasting is being present within myself.  It is kind of what I think of when I look at the trees in my neighborhood.  They have all been here long before I got here and they will be here long after.  They still stand tall despite the wind, the rain, the sun, and the smog.  Over the years their leaves have grown and fallen off.  They have even lost parts of themselves from a powerful rain storm.  The trees are lasting in their roots, in their connectivity to the core of what gives them life.  It happens below the surface of what I can see, but whatever it is, it is lasting for them.  The more I focus on the lasting energies in my life the fuller, broader, and deeper my experience of life becomes.
