Lord, I rejoice not in the linear
the score line from one to ten
I rejoice not in the obtuse triangle
the quizzical formula x = y
I rejoice in the wholeness of the sphere
In the middle of a circle . . . You
we around the centre
You, Christ around us – the radius of Your radiance
I count the addition of Your forgiveness to me
the subtraction of my resentment rot
I multiply your lovingkindness in me
and divide my self into peaceful parts.
I celebrate Your love through me
Forgiven, forgiving, yet to forgive myself and others
70 times 7 times 7 times 7
In celebration, Lord, I praise and thank You
for the mathematics of Your mercy
