One

What is one? It is the first number of our integer sequence that we use for accounting. It represents the individual unit - the single thing standing alone. But is the sense of where one is on the scale of numbers really where one sits in the sense of reality? If one is one, then how can we subdivide it into fractions? One is infinite and infinity is one, in some eyes. One for all, all for one. But only in small groups, because the masses in movement will steamroll the one soul standing in the opposite direction. When we start things anew, we begin at square one. We integrate things from zero to one to make the scale disappear and equilibrate phenomena, or at least i do. This one may go and contemplate the number one while in a hot shower, readying for a pleasant Easter sunday.
