The Way of the Cycle

The Way of the Cosmos is the Way of the Cycle, with built-in Renew-ability and Sustainability, where there is no place for waste, as one organism's waste is another organism's food, where death sustains life and where nothing is new; only fresh.

Carbon Cycle, Nitrogen Cycle, Hydrological Cycle and yet we humans are notorious for breaking and disrupting Cycles and reaping the dire effects from a broken cycle of renew-ability and sustainability.

We used to waste not and therefore want not.

We put back to the ground, what we took from it.

We eat the produce of the land and gave back our excreted waste to the land as food for the flora and fauna as they fed on the nitrogen and carbon that produce the food we need, thus completing the Cycle.

But see what we do now.

We deposit our waste in a septic tank and buy expensive mined minerals to fertilize our land to produce food.

Not only did we break the Cycle of Sustainability and Renew-ability; we destroy as we create: mining lands to extract minerals, destroying more when we ought just to return our waste to the land.

Look at the glass of water you will be drinking today.

Where did it come from? From the tap linked to some reservoir which takes its source from a river or some other body of water.

There is no new water, every drop is recycled, reused from the Jurassic Age.

Your drink is used and passed out as urine and in due course, it will return as drinking water again as it goes through the Hydrological Cycle Process where the Sun heating the sea and the land caused water evaporation and return the precipitation.

Yet again, we break the Cycle, by polluting the water through our greed and dimming the Earth through our excessive burning of fossil fuel to fuel our economic pursuit.

We have only one Earth and yet we are killing ourselves by breaking all the Cycles that sustain us.

When will we realise the value of flowing with the Cycle of the Cosmos by keeping the Way of the Cycle.

What fools we are, knowing the cost of breaking the Cycles, yet ignoring the value of preserving them.
