Short: Chaos is Good

Imagine you're in the middle of a storm, winds wailing around you so close that you can't see but 5ft in front of you. That's sometimes how our lives feel, we try to fix that by scheduling, controlling, and knowing what's ahead. We do that by planning. We try to plan how to get to what we want, and sometimes, that's great, but we also very often have limited imaginations and our stability keeps us in a mediocre life.

Do you know how a virus assembles in a cell? It makes each component of the virus separately, and they all just jiggle around the cell until they form together since each section is chemically attracted to the next. Out of the chaos, comes form.

Instead of looking at the storm as bad, imagine that instead it's building a path for you. If the winds weren't blowing, you'd know exactly what was in that direction...and it might be lacking. But as the winds blow, the stronger the winds blow, the more possibilities exist, the more chances there are for that direction that didn't even exist objectively before.

So, enjoy the storm, take this as a moment to reflect on what you want the storm to create for you, meditate on what your heart is calling for. Remember, the universe is on your side. Trust that, know that, and when the time is right, walk bravely in that direction.

Short: Water Creation via Solar Wind

We've been told that water arrived on earth through comets, and asteroids, but a recent study proved that the solar wind is constantly interacting with the earth's atmosphere to create water. This process is small, but over millions and millions of years...it adds up. Here's how it would work, hydrogen ions (H+) in the solar wind would break apart ozone (O3) in our atmosphere and recombine into H2O misting the earth with water:

H+ + O3 ​→ OH + O2
