On the Meaning of Six

 (8/2025) 

In the 1600s Kepler presented a coherent theory:

planets move around the sun—

in ellipses, not circles.

 

 (The number 6 symbolizes balance

 and harmony).

 

The earth is not the center.

Humans are not the center.

Humans are brutal censors.

 

(The number 6 encourages selflessness

and duty).

 

Invaluable to navigators, Kepler’s theories

challenged world views.

 

Strangely – for those times—

the church did not execute him—

 

even though his own mother

was imprisoned for witchcraft.

 

(The number 6 is a balance between

material and spiritual realms).

 

“If the earth were to stop drawing

its waters to itself,

all the waters of the sea

would rise and flow towards the Moon.”

 

(The number 6 seeks alignment

and stability).

 

Kepler died of fever, no more, no less

happy than any of us.
