Revolutionary.
Like my own Oklahoma gardens, which even on their best days are a bit on the wild side, my spirit is probably less orderly than most. Even at 37 I mean 25 I am still brimming with confusion and questions, still wandering a bit more than I would like some days.
Have you ever seen Mandala art? It is sometimes used as a form of meditation in the Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Not worship, just a physical activity, guided enough to be focused but certainly freeing enough to allow for all manner of expression and intepretation.

In reading more about fractals I remembered the mandala and cannot help but sense the common ground here. Maybe there is a cosmic message to be found regarding circular motion, patterns, and following that inarticulate voice.
And how interesting that a Christian writer used this global mainstay to help his readers visualize the human spirit. I think it is a beautiful use of imagination.
I love this! Quite honestly, I have enjoyed everything I have read that you have written. You have a real gift with words. Thanks for taking the time to share what rattled around in your head while you ironed. LOL 🙂
Lovin this post! I read a lot of C.S. Lewis and his takes on Christianity and other worldly religions. We like to refer to ourselves as little Buddhist-Christians. There’s a lot of similarities in morals/values/stories as well as some greatly humbling guidelines for life in both. Nature is the big equalizer though and nothing makes me more at peace and in awe of whatever “God” is out there dipping his finger in the paints of life.
Can’t wait to read what you’ll write next!
As always, I love to roll your words around in my mind. In the garden analogy, my counselor once told me I am a garden. To flourish, I need love and care and patience. She said I tend to try to get things to grow by yelling and controlling. Hmph!
Now, I’m more likely to let things go wild and pay attention to the beauty that is “accidentally” created.
To play along with “everything in nature mimics something else in nature”, take a look at this video comparing fruits to the human body: http://youtu.be/0NYVhv7Yutc
This is just beautiful. I love it. Thank you.
