Every year when the Christmas tree is trimmed and the lights plugged in, I reflect on the infinite power of light. In quantum physics the scientific term entanglement explains how at one level all light particles seem to be in touch with all others. Experiments to measure this entanglement phenomenon revealed that light photons in one location are immediately entangled with ALL other light particles. What's amazing is that it doesn't seem to matter if the photons are coming from the earthly glow of a campfire or from a distant galaxy of billions of stars. From light's perspective, ALL light particles seem to be touching one another instantaneously in what scientists call an "entanglement" phenomenon. In reality, there is no distance between Point (A) and Point (B).
O Christmas Tree (English version by Ruth Heller)
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
O tree of green, unchanging.
Your boughs, so green in summer time,
Do brave the snow of winter time.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
O tree of green unchanging.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
You set my heart a singing.
Like little stars, your candles bright
Send to the world a wondrous light.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
You set my heart a singing.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
You come from God, eternal.
A symbol of the Lord of Love
Whom God to man sent from above.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
You come from God eternal.
