9°

There is nothing more abstract than the degree symbol.  Sitting by the fire, which I am, makes it impossible to understand.  I got up and went outside and stood there momentarily until my body made me aware of what 9° means.  I enjoy life like this, the miracle of having a registration devise, my body, which creates concrete reality for abstract concepts.  But there is another more sublime existence and that is returning to the fire and understanding salvation.  9° could kill this great devise had fire not been conceived, invented and freely given to humans.  9° can give you all the reason necessary to love the One who first loved you and, as an added bonus, invented fire as well.
