Walking along the beach, you might leave footprints in the sand. But give the wind and the waves a few minutes, and those tracks will be filled in. Your footprints in the snow will experience the same fate. In a similar manner, vegetation will cover a field, water fills a channel, and an agenda expands to the time budgeted for the meeting. Even the void in your heart for someone you have loved and lost, can eventually be filled with a blessed memory. Aristotle observed that no true vacuums exist in nature because the difference in pressure results in a force that acts to correct the equilibrium. I’ll take it farther and posit that vacuum energy exists throughout the known universe – and the universe does not abide vacuums.
