ATOMIC AND HUMAN ENCOUNTERS

Certain events radiate energy as do certain encounters. At times, certain human encounters may become events that can, do, or have radiated far beyond the locus of a particular encounter. Not merely are later relationships of those who are involved in the event affected, altered, transformed, but so too are relationships involving their families, friends, neighbors, communities, untold others who have been later distributively impacted by the dynamic tension, radiation that was released by that singularly potent, eventful encounter, even if unknown. Certain tiny, invisible atoms, when split, under the right conditions, release massive amounts of atomic, of nuclear radiation seemingly from nothing at all, seemingly by magic. Certain atoms, when fused, empower the sun and other stars for billions of years, which empower planets, galaxies, moons. Human relationships are atomic or nuclear; fission or fusion, like certain atoms that also empower, engender their legacy. Amen.
