Entropy
Today’s word: Entropy. Yesterday, a spring day. Last night, a winterish storm began pushing through even fooling the indigenous plants: mesquite, pecan trees, wild flowers, which had started to bloom.
Morning comes, looking outside, I notice fence work to do first thing. The northeastern wind had torn loose several sections of fencing which needed immediate repair. The world in a constant struggle to return to its original elements the ancients believed were: earth, water, air, and fire as proposed by Empedocles frequently occur; Aristotle added a fifth element or quintessence (after “quint” meaning “fifth”) called aether in Ancient Greece, and akasha in India.

The universe constantly expanding, changing, fighting for entropy. Man, so sure of his dominance, inserted it in the Biblical book of Genesis. American Standard Version And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Mother Nature, patiently sometimes, slyly often, straightforward others, reclaims its elements, and then flows again toward entropy, bemused at man’s brashness.
