the total energy of an isolated system is constant.
Energy, therefore, can neither be created nor destroyed.
In a grandfather clock,
a pendulum is suspended in perpetual motion—
unwavering, earnest, sedulous.
Its hands faithfully thrust forward,
moving at a steady pace,
only to begin its journey again.
In the open ocean,
approximately eight kilometers from the shoreline,
a buoy bobs interminably with the current—
enduring, steadfast, hopeful.
It stays anchored in the same place
even when the tide changes.
A marathon cannot be won on a treadmill.
Movement is an illusion.
