Lenten Meditation


All religions and political systems based on a conflict between good and evil have assumed the classical model of physics, where the life-force of Creation struggles against the death-force of Chaos, or entropy. But there is a new model in which Chaos contains Creation, and Entropy contains the secret counter-force of Life itself.

Dance replaces struggle. Systems integrate, evolve complexity, and live quite effortlessly through sacrifice and surrender. The angst of individualism dissolves in the circle of community, where each evolving spark shines brighter because its light is wave, not particle.

I heard this song from a Seed who surrendered to gravity, only to sprout and tremble greenly upward again, toward the grace and warmth of a dying star.

Or as a Master said, "A grain of wheat remains just a separate seed, until it is dropped into the ground and dies. Dying, it produces many seeds. Those who love their own life will lose it; those who lose their own life will keep it for life eternal." ~John 12
