a world shattering but ultimately healing force

Einstein's E=MC2 is an extraordinary concept.
So radical: matter and energy are two phases of the same sort of general stuff.
There's only one other idea that radical:
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Kurt Vonnegut, in Will the Circle Be Unbroken? by Studs Terkel


when we can produce energy in the fusion of atoms (the joining together)
rather than their fission (tearing apart)
we will have the energy we need to prosper safely in this world

and when we learn to forgive each other as members of the same beloved family
then we will be able to live on this planet without fear of want or discord.

we await a new heavens and a new earth.

Lord, energize and inspire us create this new kingdom with you.
