Shine

Ten?

Twenty?

How many

Do you need?

Fifty?  Sixty?  Is that enough?

You count friends like a cashier counts coins

You jingle them in your pocket to make sure they are still there

You like to sort them by value, put them in neat piles, admire your fabulous collection - oh, how it has grown!

Never mind the dust, chokingly thick, as they sit on your book shelf; you know that underneath the layers of neglect, they will always shine brilliantly at your gaze, won’t they?

God By the Numbers

how
do
flowers
shell spirals
pinecones, tree branches
understand Golden Ratios?
I do not know much about God
but I do know this
There are yet
wonders
to
see
