Osmosis

I use the word osmosis freely.   The concept intrigues my mind and seems to illustrate rightly the movement of human energy.   Osmosis, described basically- if a cell is put in a solution which is more concentrated than its own, then it will shrivel up, and if it is put in a solution less concentrated than its own, the cell will expand.
E.g. If a red balloon is filled with concentrated salt water then tied and placed under pure water, the pure water will want to slowly permeate through the balloon wall and join the concentrated salt solution, expanding the balloon until both solutions, inside and out, are equally concentrated.
Now, for the second part of my science experiment- a story to connect osmosis to human energy:  

She reflected on everything she wanted and everything she inspired to be. The control was in her hands. Somehow she understood that only through understanding and concentrating her surroundings- people, environment, colors, activity, weather- she would expand into endless possibility.

Lessons had been learned. People had drained life from her and so had her activities although all of it was unknowingly in her control. The outside world she had created for herself was far more concentrated than the inside world and she was empty.
Change brewed and glimpses of insight broke through a depleted mind, body and spirit. She began to shed all that appeared dark; all that felt draining. She built, as many before her did, a strong and concentrated inside world through grounding, fearlessness, freedom of expression, and exploration.

Slowly her external environment molded to shape her inner reflected truths, desires, and curiosities. Creative thinkers, mentors, laughers, and seekers replaced the old. Gardens, forests, sun lit rooms, terraces, soft music replaced the old. Still peace, comfortable silence, and conversation became unbearably beautiful. The beauty was her. Inner concentration had expanded attracting more of the like. All things externally good were born from her inner desire for them to be so. Osmosis.

What have you been thinking about today? ;)
