The Mathematical Gospel

In the beginning,
there was no word.
Just rhythm.
Just ratio.
Just the silent breath between numbers —
and that silence spoke God.

Not a beard-in-the-sky God,
but a blueprint deep in the spiral of your DNA,
etched in phi,
golden like sunrise off a creek at 6 a.m.

The gospel?
It ain’t just red letters on thin paper.
It’s circles in crop fields,
eights on their side,
fractals that whisper infinity into pine needles and lightning strikes.

It’s 3.14159 reasons
why chaos is just misunderstood symmetry.

And 1+1 ain’t always 2 —
sometimes it’s unity,
sometimes it’s you and me,
sometimes it’s a spark that births galaxies.

They tried to teach us math in rows and desks.
But the true prophets counted stars,
dreamed in equations,
and mapped spirit in sine waves.

E = mc²?
That’s just “let there be light” in Einstein’s handwriting.

Because in the gospel of math:
energy is eternal,
patterns don’t lie,
and everything that dies is just rearranging.

So yeah —
I don’t read from a pulpit,
I decode Fibonacci in flower petals,
trace sacred angles in her collarbone,
and calculate divinity in the curvature of a creek.

The mathematical gospel says:
You are a miracle of motion,
a story told in symbols,
an equation unfolding at the speed of soul.

Truthfully, I hear ya.
Even when I say, “What’d you say?”
I hear ya in your silence,
In the look you give when your soul don’t play.

I hear ya in the ghosted texts,
In the “I’m fine” that don’t sit right.
I hear ya in the late-night snaps,
The fake smile lit by screenlight.

I hear ya when you don’t respond—
Your quiet speaks in waves.
I hear ya in the vibe you send
When your heart just wants to be saved.

I don’t know the depth of your wound…
But I’m here. And I hear ya.
Every. Dang. Time.

If you haven’t met me, Rob with an R,
I was born in Little Rock,
but raised by the wild —
Alaska at thirteen,
ocean in my lungs,
freedom in my blood.

Lost my motorcycle to high tide (true story),
spent nights in a cell,
earned stripes in the Army,
then the Corps —
but I was always more mystic than soldier.

Built homes with my dad,
bounced bars in Anchorage,
found deeper meaning and a girl in Houston,
and we made a family
built on fire and faith.

Fished the sea,
ran the biggest custodial crew in the capital,
was Chamber president in a town called North Pole.
Yeah — life’s been weird like that.

Mastered self-defense under Master Wick,
studied healing in Russia,
then came home to Arkansas
to build something that lasts.

Now I run a tiny resort
with tiny cabins, big soul,
and a fire that won’t quit.

And after all that?

I still feel like I’m just gettin’ started.

Come join me.
Let’s build beauty from the dust. 🤟🏾
