Topic of discussion: “Foundational Rhythms”
“Life on Earth developed in concert with cyclic variations associated with Earth’s rotation, its orbit around the sun and linked phenomena, such as sunlight, seasonal and weather influences. As primeval organic compounds assembled into increasingly complex forms, these forcing energetic rhythmical variations impressed themselves onto the fundamental structures of living organisms that populated the Earth.”
