This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 24, 2009:
I know what I would like "power" to mean, but this is word that has been so drenched in ego over centuries that I do not resonate with it. I struggle to find a word that does not have this association but captures the essence.
In physics "power" is energy per unit time, or the rate work is performed, or the flow of energy over a duration. So it could be focused awareness and energy that can sustain over time, transcends over time to perform great work. The more focused and pure the energy, the greater the power, the greater the works.
I'll try to think of a shorter word in the future, but for now I would like to call it aware-energy-sustaining-great-works.
