49. Physics keeps me open-minded
I can't claim to understand the theories, or even the mathematics leading up to it, but the doors physics seem to open--even a crack-- reminds me the moment I shut my mind to possibilities, or speculation-- for me, I negate science itself.
One of the most spiritual experiences I ever had was in biology 101. We were studying cells. A single cell to be exact. I was one of those older learners, so perhaps that's why it blew me away the way it did. I didn't stress over naming parts and transport systems or upcoming tests, I was fascinated by whole microcosm a cell carries. The further my science courses took me, the more fascinated I became.

That's when I realized there is no division between spirit and science. There can't be. Not to get all Jungian, but everything is connected. The possibilities are seemingly endless. It didn't leave me to believe in God or ghosts, I don't. But it did leave me with an open mind. I went from atheist to agnostic after organic chemistry.
I'm just like that, I guess.
