When we enter the world,
we’re numbered.
21 inches long
7 pounds 6 ounces
As we grow, we accumulate
more numbers.

1328 Michigan Avenue
There comes a time when men
and women begin to take on
different numbers.
Trump: $4 billion net worth
Marilyn: 37-23-36
Our attachments to numbers
grow and grow.

boil down to 1: the indivisible
number. The sum of purity,
security and wholeness.
This is our manifesto: to bring
all humans back to oneness, to
unity. To reconcile inequality. To
advance the message that there is
no true separation between one
and another.
