Water trickles toward zero entropy. Glass is like water except exponentially slower in its movement. Human movement however, is unlike liquid. The dynamic life of human development is entropy. Moving within the chaos humans create meaning from patterns that arise over time. Moments are linked together by creative thinking and reflection. If human development was liquid it would stall out eventually and very slowly come to a complete stop.
Moments that feel like stalling are in fact rest points for reflection. Pause and look in the glass, watch the slow liquid match your energy. Meditate on the quiet. Feel how you squirm in your skin as you try to maintain the stillness.
Once the reflection period is over, you blast full force into your beloved entropy looking for the next moment which will fulfill your quest of allusions that will complete your story.
