Scientists and Clergy





"String theory, often called the “theory of everything,” is a relatively young science that includes such unusual concepts as superstrings, branes, and extra dimensions. Scientists are hopeful that string theory will unlock one of the biggest mysteries of the universe, namely how gravity and quantum physics fit together."
~Andrew Zimmerman Jones (String Theory for Dummies)




I find this concept fascinating, but mind boggling and probably another hypothesis/theory that may or may not ever be proven.  Science was always a weak subject for me.  It went right over my head faster than a speeding bullet.  I barely passed Chemistry even with tutoring, so my opinion on any scientific theory does not carry much weight.  However, that will not stop me from using the whole notion to convey my own views of what matters in this life.  Please forgive me all you brilliant scientists out there for adding my own string theory to the equation.


I propose this:

We are all connected
old........and.........young
weak.........and.............strong
beautiful..........and.............awkward
brilliant............and...........challenged
spiritual......and.............atheist
friend.......and..........enemy
wealthy.........and............destitute
tender....and.......callous
the blessed.........and...........the suffering
the clothed.........and..............the naked
parent.........................and...............................child
male....................and....................female
scientist...................and.........................clergy
God........................and...........................man.


This is what I would like to call The Heart String Confirmation, because it has already been proven in the laboratory of the heart of man.

Brilliance

Think Tank Prompt #6

Brilliance is not a newly cut diamond,
but the glistening eyes of a child so full of hope.

Brilliance is not a scientific theory,
but the enlightening that can occur
in the colliding of two souls.

Brilliance is not an orchestrated opus,
but the deep flutter of the leaves
that only the forest can compose.

Brilliance is not a numeric formula,
but the unmeasurable capacity
of what the heart can hold.
