Three in One

Trinitarian Equations By Mark D. Stucky
Can you do the math for Three in One? 1 + 1 + 1 = 1? 3 = 1? 1 / 3 = 1? You can't find these enigmatic equations of paradoxical logic in new math textbooks. They are old math. Very old math. Older than earth. Older than stars. Older than the universe. They are the origin of math from which all math derives, from which we live and move and have our being. Beyond Taoist yin-AND-yang duality, beyond particle-AND-wave nature of light, beyond quantum superpositions of ALL possible particle states, Three Persons in one mystery, distinct yet together, a divine Whole, greater AND lesser than the sum of the Parts. (First published in Ekstasis, Sept. 2022. See also my poem "The Invention of Love" and my visual poem “Trinity Dance.”) (Image by jose_andres95 on Pixabay.)
