All There Ever Will Be
First Law of Thermodynamics says energy cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another.
All that is and ever will be is energy. A stone appearing solid, is as any object, vibrating atoms...only energy, as are we.
There is no emotion, no fear in the changing of energy from form to form, with the eternal knowing none will ever be lost or augmented. This is all there is and ever will be...and the energy we are is not ours and has never been ours.
There is no beginning, no end.
Perceptions aside, we are like the stone. Does the stone fear being ground to dust? Does it fight the process? Protest? Believe it has any ownership over the ourcome?
Nor should we.
Is dust heaven? Perhaps, to a stone grounded in one place unless kicked, thrown or cemented as the foundation to a great building. Dust moves with the greater dynamic energy of the winds merging, flying, traveling to the ends of creation and back.
And again, so will we.
The transition of form, a shifting of eternal finite energy, is all there ever will be.
