I was raised by working class grandparents who lived through the great depression, my grandfather lived through both world wars. One of the blessings that comes from growing up among old people, especially those who worked hard all their lives, is exposure to time tested common sense.
It strikes me that abundance is usually not something we passively recieve. It is usually the result of reciprocity and humane regard- the abundance of the farm reflects the care of the farmer for the land. It is the same with the artist or crafts person, the discipline and time in developing skill, respect and care for the materials and tools.
Our lives are nodes in a web of relationships, the warp and weft of give and take. Abundance is the density of these nodes.
This is a very thoughtful take on energy, which I appreciate for both magical and practical implications. Free energy is a wonderful and abundant ideal!! But you speak of consumption and the inevitable conflict of limited material resource - of course abundance would come to an end! 😭 Because of this, I am inspired to reflect on the connection between relationality and reciprocity. Thank you, Frank!
