Amos Wilder wrote, “be instructed at the null point, the zero breeds new algebra.” Wilder was commending the very nature of God. When things come down to the zero, when there’s suffering and “fiery ordeals” as St. Peter would say, if we can linger long enough nurtured by our faith, our tradition, and one another we will see God’s new algebra! And get this, the word Algebra means “the reunion and balancing of broken parts!” This pandemic has brought so many of us to a near zero place and some are tempted to numbness or despair, but hold on beloved, there’s reason to hope, God is doing God’s new math even now.
