Philosophy?

I believe that our understanding of the material and the immaterial are two things that have somehow ended up far removed from each other when both belong to each other. To think that the material is so horrible that God does not dwell within it is not a good place to find oneself. I believe in the movement and grace that gave us this moment, whatever that may be. And science very often deals with the things we can not see. There’s no way we can fully understand or even visualize what goes on inside an atom, yet by the human imagination we’ve gained a loose understanding of what goes on inside an atom. That disconnect between being only able to see something in order to understand it and somehow being able to imagine things outside of sight to understand them is where the material and the immaterial meet. There’s something in that kind of happening that can only be described as a soul, but I don’t believe that is something that is exclusive to people or the living; it extends far out into this world and is in everything.
