Thank you Richard, for sharing with us this amazing figure 8! 8 is the number of new beginnings, being both the first, and the last, which is also the new first. Witness the week, the musical scale and the rainbow. I am sure you have already been told that an 8 lying on its side is the symbol for infinity.
