The Universe Flows Through
Here is a spooky thought:
the Universe flows through
each of us, connects each
of us to everyone, everything else.
Nothing keeps the Universe out. It lives
and breathes in us and with us.
at every second of existence.
What a thought, eh. That all that is seemingly infinite (some say there is an outer boundary to the universe) and all that is within that infinity is connected to us. That it flows through us. Quantum physics says that, while we and every object appear to be solid (and in fact, feel solid), we are actually mostly empty space. This is because, as I understand it, the atoms that make up our physical beings are mostly empty space. We are also, apparently, made up of packets of vibrating energy.

We are, thus, connected to everyone and everything since we are at the microcosmic level energy. Everything in the universe is energetically created according to some quantum physicists.
I suppose what I am trying to say here is that what I do to others (and what others do to me and everything around us) affects me, affects all of us. If that isn't a too convoluted way to say this. I suppose another way to state this is: if I act with love and compassion towards others, it comes back to me as love and compassion. If I act angrily and lash out, it comes back to me in the same way.
We create ripples in the universe which can create a backwash that we get caught in. I believe that I have this correctly: Wiccans believe that what you do comes back to you threefold.
And, if we are all connected in the great energetic web of the universe, how can we not treat the earth and all that exist on her the best that we can? Because it seems to me that everyone and everything is family in the best, most hopeful sense of the word.
