Energy: In the Spirit of Quaker Opinion, we propose, for the Court's consideration, the energy of life.

Matter: The positive force of matter or the negative force of gravity?

Energy: Er, well, we're speaking, then, of the spiritual energy of life.

Matter: Again, the positive or the negative sort?

Energy: The sort that some people have tapped into for spiritual understanding.

Matter: As they understand how positive and negative forces of energy counterbalance each other for harmonious/unburdened living?

Energy: The spirit is often willing when the flesh is weak.

Matter: The flesh, as matter, is a positive force and equal to the challenge of living in balance. It's only when the flesh is given too much weight or, conversely, unhealthy restriction that the burden of gravitas is felt.

Energy: Are we talking science or religion here?

Matter: It matters only what the Spirit of justice holds in the balance.
