Quantum Entanglement By Rev. Dean Turbeville
New science now serves to redeem my thoughts, often late and sometimes lazy, meditate upon particles –
Particles galaxies apart but in a shared quantum dance so that to see one is to see the other, to move one is to move the other, as they are ever locked in a weird, wonderful and unbreakable waltz.
As sure as an apple falls from a tree, as surely as tectonic plates shoulder one another, as surely as the salmon swim upstream, these particles are both many and one, mirroring each other over the Expanse.
And so...
When I am wrecked by providences inexplicable, and see the just mistreated, and the earth abused, and when the folk I have loved don’t love me back, and the church’s antibodies are overcome by fear and idols,
Then I remember the physics of the Faith. And this, Jesus -- yes, this and nothing else, sustains the battered soul: the wonder-full entanglement of our hearts. You gave me yours, so I could give you mine.
Across the great expanse, we are united now in the power of an indestructible life... your Life. For you once called your people “me,”* and so all their hurt was yours, and all your joy was theirs.
And so we, you and I -- and so many with us -- will dance this waltz forever, ever endearing, ever enduring, glory upon glory, the eternal, artful entanglement of love.
