Numbers In Heaven (Free verse) by Dovina

My name is 183, one of myriad, born in heaven, nestled eternally between two evens, and called, with affection, odd. Some of us are prime, numbers so perfect they were flung to distant worlds, if maybe there, their beauty too might be beheld. I take delight in knowing I am certain, fixed and real, never to be forsaken or replaced, unique, useful, unmatched and unmatchable. Pregnant with potential in Platonic minds, we odds alone, save the chosen 2, titillate their senses. Sometimes in anxious moments, Senses failing, in the wonder of it all, I feel an urgent sadness, imagine myself a figment of their god-like minds, a bipolar disturbance, perhaps a mere conveyance, no more than an assertion, a useful word. Then I feel contrived by them for pleasure and convenience, lovely only in their minds. But as the notion passes, I rest in heavenly peace, unequaled and real, fixed and founded, uniquely placed by God.

It’s heartening to hear you say, “God is beyond even the laws of nature and our own comprehension.” In saying that, you have removed Him from the walls of rules and logic and allowed Him to be God. (Perhaps He thanks you for your generosity.) I’m often called a heretic for doing the same thing.

The strange thing about people who say that a good god would not allow suffering is that they usually also say, “the human race is, on the whole, intelligent and capable of solving its problems.” They take credit for the good and blame God for the bad, or they say there is no god because of the bad. Amanda is saying that God controls both good and bad. I say that God has left Himself many holes in the apparent order of nature through which to act, and act unreceptively, if He wants to. Like you say, its something I feel, beyond proof. I fully agree that my ignorance is beyond beyond.
