Circadian Rhythm

     A day is created from a combination of the rising and setting of the sun. The moon also does the same, but in the U.S. it isn’t used for keeping time. We rely on this continuous cycle, without it our portion of the universe that keeps “life” running would cease and we would fall from existence. The sun rises and once at the apex of its daily journey it begins a decent toward the other horizon.

     We live off of this cycle. It is called Circadian Rhythm. Wikipedia states the importance of these rhythms:

Circadian rhythmicity is present in the sleeping and feeding patterns of animals, including human beings. There are also clear patterns of core body temperature, brain wave activity, hormone production, cell regeneration and other biological activities. In addition, photoperiodism, the physiological reaction of organisms to the length of day or night, is vital to both plants and animals, and the circadian system plays a role in the measurement and interpretation of day length.

     It takes wisdom to know the rhythm of life. We can apply this to life and on-going works in our lives. There is a cycle in what we do and things will decline after reaching a zenith. Even in life, people have problems understanding where they are. The short term and long term both have distances. If something is planned to conclude after one year it may be beneficial to measure the progress by month. Each month requires progress each week, and each week needs progress each day. You’ll never walk to a far destination in a time period without the effort exerted each day. The important part of the journey is to enjoy the walk and smell the roses, planning can be beneficial to maximize this. While a measuring device for a life is pointless, measuring progress can be beneficial. Things will start and then conclude. This is 1 cycle.
