What is energy?
Maybe is a vague concept, maybe the concept differs from area to area, from person to person.
I like the idea of thinking of energy of something that is constantly being transformed, mutable and that has different physical manifestations. I like the fact that we can see it, we can touch it and feeling it but at the same time it is such an abstract concept.
For me energy is something that somehow has to related to light and water.
Light because of the sun. The amount of light in our everyday life completely influences my energy, my mood, and my relation to the world around. Water because of my relation with sea and the necessity of being close to it. I need to feel water around me to be somehow connected to the world and maybe because I grow up near the sea and in a very warm city in the south of Portugal, I have this special connection and when I am on a beach I feel completely renovate and full of energy. My first dip (dive) every new year is for me a kind of ritual, when I see by body and myself renovate, ready for a new year. For me is like the first day of the year, so completely changes my notion of time, days and years.
Also, I see energy very related to the way I am connected to people and friends. I feel the necessity to be around people, to share my energy with them, to give and to receive energy. I think that is very important in my life and that changes a lot my energies. ( just some personal ideas to what is energy to me)
