Eight

the beatitudes dwell amongst the meek I am the number of justice and fullness if I am divided I am still equal strong and pure I have proven longevity I am poor in spirit, so that I might gain divided twice I am still strength an cannot be changed I am pure I am merciful I am of the infinite and I rest within persecution I am Eight

This is a terrific approach to the numbers contest, Rick. Very inspirational. Eight is my favorite number, too, but for other reasons. When divided it seems to have a symmetry about it that other numbers can't match. Best wishes for the contest and another Soup mail. Love, Carolyn
