Connections I can make between Energy and Qi

I have a hard time with this one because I view them as the same thing. There are many people who relate energy to most everything they come across, but only relate Qi to the the human body. In that case you could look for connections between the two. I believe they are one in the same and that everything I come across including the human form consists of it entirely.
Everything upon this planet, within this galaxy and of the universe are made up of the very same stuff.
Some call Qi "the vital life force", which it is, however that phrase implies that it only pertains to living things. Although I do agree that Qi IS "the vital life force", and would certainly describe it that way to my fellow people, I make it a point to include the non living objects on this planet as well. I simply describe them as having the "vital force" within their makings. In the end that is what we are all part of, "the vital force" or "Qi" or "Energy". It is all the same just different methods of explaining it.
