Volume 18 - 12 June, 2012 Dear Parents and Students Bowing to the majesty and mystery of God’s crea on, how can one not be amazed at the magnificence and the magnitude; the chaos and the precision; the vastness and the microscopic; the grandness and the grandeur. Last week’s ‘Transit of Venus’ spectacularly reminded both the scien st and the mys c in me of how wondrous it is to be a part of the marvellous and mysterious cosmic dance. One of my favourite spiritual poets, the deligh ul Joyce Rupp writes: “I discovered that I am part of a vast and marvellous dance that goes on unceasingly at every moment in every par cle of the universe. What a marvel to know that each cell of my body is part of yours, and yours of mine, and that all of us are one! Think of what that means!”
We are One Li le dancing feet full of energy enlivening every par cle of the universe, ny feet skipping, hopping, jumping, strong feet stomping, jiggling, prancing, leaping to the rhythm that defies regula on. Airy, bright feet of sailing stars, wrinkled, callused feet of clay cliffs, waxy, webbed feet of succulent leaves, fast flowing feet of winding rivers, endless feet of unobserved tree roots, so feet of every form of fetus. With an eye as fresh and delicate as birth, sneak a peek as each pulsing part of life comes dancing, whirling, weaving, secret neurons, veiled photons, hidden electrons, whirling, skipping, piroue ng, forming a circle of oneness with each other.
