I like this. It's spiritual nourishment; a perfect partner for plant-based nourishment.

"Nourishment". The just right word for all this. Thanks Michelle!

And with you! There is a meditative maxim that by saving energy you gain energy. Not a net pick up however but a redistribution. I wonder if that too fits within your framework? I think it does!

I can think of a case where a small energy input yields a large energy output. Someone drops a small rock of the top of a cliff that triggers a large rock avalanche below. Something big for very little, no? Well, actually not. This is a classic illustration for the concept of potential energy and if you analyze it carefully, you see clearly how the energy balance was maintained. It's just a function of a time variable and that's why the relevant equations have time operators.
