Numbers

[Sir Koan]

NUMBERS

1 was whole
1 was complete
but 1 is the loneliest number
so 1 became 2
because 2 can play at that game.
what game?
catch!
I throw to you and you catch.
catch what?
the thing I threw
but if we are only 2, what else is there to throw?
I guess we are 3
Look at our 3rd fly between us
The 3rd is our communication
Like Jesus standing between God and Creation
the gnostic's serpent swimming back and forth with errors and revelations.
or the holy spirit proceeding from father and son
blessed trinity
Behold 3, God's essence revealed
Then what is 4?
WHat's its connection to 3, 2, 1?
Blast! There is none!
It's a new thing, something that just appeared
was just created
Bang!
Like the natural world
4 like the cardinal points
4 like the spacetime dimensions
And when the One appears within it
we are all blessed 5-fold
we are all assured of His plan
in our 5 fingers.
4 plus 2, that's communication in the world
that's us
yes we're 6
6 billion.
we are something more than the sum of our 5 fingers
Besides weren't we made on the 6th Day?
4 + 3, that's the fullness of God on Earth
That's more than grace, that's perfection
that's pointing in all directions
like the prongs on Liberty's Crown.
Plus it's 1 more than 6:
A little beyond man's reach.
4 plus 4 is the meeting of 2 worlds
That's 2 4s.
the world in communion
8: communion.
Ate communion?
The world feasting on itself in a virtuous cycle
The snake with its tail in its mouth
the recycle triangle
the spinning wheel that provides for our nakedness
like Eden's snake.
It's the naturally perfect way to live in an imperfect world
making infinity out of finity
Add 1 to that, and you get 9.
The 6 plus 3
Man plus God
Man doing his best, then reaching out for full divine help
which comes as 10
10 commandments to live by
10 plagues to correct
2 times 5
the contract for Grace in the world order
