In Conversation With Isaac Newton The Conversation  Elements From The Conversation  ~ ❖ ~ "[Newton] sees his world as one world. He sees his pursuit of truth as one pursuit. And whether it takes him to books of theology  or to books of nature, whether it be books of astronomy or books of alchemy, it doesn't matter to him." James Force                                                         ~ ❖ ~ Music  With our love. George & Matilda

In Conversation With Physics/Astronomy God’s glory is on tour in the skies,  God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.  Madame Day holds classes every morning,  Professor Night lectures each evening.  Their words aren’t heard,  their voices aren’t recorded,  But their silence fills the earth:  unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-45‬ ‭(The Message)                     ‬ The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Stars that we see with the naked eye at night.   May you have fun. A Suspended Blue Ocean The sky is a suspended blue ocean. The stars are the fish that swim. The planets are the white whales I sometimes hitch a ride on, and the sun and all light have forever fused themselves into my heart and upon my skin. There is only one rule on this Wild Playground, For every sign Hafiz has ever seen reads the same. They all say, "Have fun, my dear; my dear, have fun, in the Beloved's Divine Game, O, in the Beloved's Wonderful Game." Hafiz          

In Gesprek Met Fisika/Astronomie Die hemelruim verkondig  die eer van God  en die hemelkoepel maak die werk  van sy hande bekend.  Dag ná dag bring dit  'n boodskap voort  en nag ná nag deel dit  kennis mee.  Alhoewel daar geen spraak  en geen woorde is nie  en hulle stem nie hoorbaar is nie,  gaan hulle boodskap uit  oor die hele aarde  en hulle woorde  tot aan die einde van die wêreld.  ‭‭ Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭2‬-‭5‬ ‭(2020‬-vertaling)                     ‬ Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Sterre wat ons saans met die blote oog kan sien.   Mag julle leef met gesigte gedraai na die son. Sonneblom Na die bron van alles, die son, één beurende drang één goue verlang! Uys Krige                                                         Met ons liefde. George & Matilda

Spirituality In Conversation With Science The Conversation Elements From The Conversation ~ ❖ ~ "Great science, which we once considered an “enemy” of religion, is now helping us see that we’re standing in the middle of awesome Mystery, and the only response before that Mystery is immense humility. Astrophysicists are much more comfortable with darkness, emptiness, non-explainability (dark matter, black holes), and living with hypotheses than most Christians I know. Who could have imagined this?” Richard Rohr              ~ ❖ ~ Music   This week there is a particularly long introduction to the music we will listen to. But we think, against the background of our conversation with science, it is justified. It originally appeared in the November 1955 issue of Reader's Digest. The Night I Met Einstein by Jerome Weidman When I was a very young man, just beginning to make my way, I was invited to dine at the home of a distinguished New York philanthropist.  After dinner our hostess

Maar ons dink, teen die agtergrond van ons gesprek met die wetenskap, is dit geregverdig. Dit het oorspronklik in die November 1955 uitgawe van Reader's Digest verskyn.
