Where the world’s religions
diverge in creeds and practices 
surely some beliefs went astray,
but is there a “one true faith”?

Is there one universal spirituality
with rigidly equal requirements
for all peoples across all millennia?
A universal spirituality field
across all of space and time?

Or does God encounter us where we are,
in the quantum foam of our chaotic lives?
With experiences as diverse as individual snowflakes
and as unpredictable as quantum particle positions?

Will we have, if we’re mindful,
unexpected meetings with
mystical forces in thin spaces
where heaven and earth touch?
Spiritual entanglements
between God and our souls?
Seemingly random events
taking us closer to destiny?
