Numbers Reassure
***
In counted days and seasons,
faith finds its rhythm.
Each sunrise tallies hope,
each heartbeat marks a promise—
order continues through the unknown.
Reflection
***
I count things more than I pray these days.
Hours, bills, steps, mistakes—
as if order could replace belief.
But sometimes, when the world
feels too random,
I remember how faith once
gave shape to the chaos.
I miss that sense of pattern,
that feeling that every moment
belonged to something meaningful.
I don’t know if I can return
to that certainty,
but I still long for the comfort
of knowing that even
the uncountable parts of life
were held in a larger design.

A quiet meditation on how we try to measure life when certainty fades. Even in counting days and moments, there remains a longing to believe that life still follows a deeper pattern.
