Is it possible there is a certain
kind of beauty as large as the trees
that survive the five-hundred-year fire
the fifty-year flood, trees we can’t
comprehend even standing
beside them with outstretched arms
to gauge their span,
a certain kind of beauty
so strong, so deeply concealed
in relationship—black truffle
to red-backed vole to spotted owl
to Douglas fir, bats and gnats,
beetles and moss, flying squirrel
and the high-rise of a snag,
each needing and feeding the other—
a conversation so quiet
the human world can vanish into it.
A beauty moves in such a place
like snowmelt sieving through
the fungal mats that underlie and
interlace the giant firs, tunneling
under streams where cutthroat fry
live a meter deep in gravel,
fluming downstream over rocks
that have a hold on place
lasting longer than most nations,
sluicing under deadfall spanners
that rise and float to let floodwaters pass,
a beauty that fills the space of the forest
with music that can erupt as
varied thrush or warbler, calypso
orchid or stream violet, forest
a conversation not an argument,
a beauty gathering such clarity and force
it breaks the mind’s fearful hold on its
little moment steeping it in a more dense
intelligibility, within which centuries
and distances answer each other
and speak at last with one and the same voice.

“Understanding of life begins with the understanding of patterns”
-- Fritjof Capra “The Web of Life”
The Patterns That Connect
A Poem By Gwen Meyer
The patterns that connect
The ant to the bear, the winter to the spring,
And the bumblebee to the pond it browses near
Run in and through me,
The simple truth of God, whose Presence
Underlies everything, everywhere,
From a flower blooming at my feet
To the iceberg that just calved
Off the glacier into the bay
And beyond that to the stars themselves.
This is a new season, yet it follows
Timeless eternities of cycles,
Each mote of life distinct, each atom, and each cell
A drop of that which is so vast
And displaying all Its Splendor.
God’s song sings in my heart as well,
And shines in the hearts of those I love.

In the words of Joseph Needham, the great 20th century scholar of Chinese scientific
thought, “It is dynamic pattern as embodied in all living things, and in human relationships and in the highest human values. Such dynamic pattern can only be expressed by the term ‘organism’.” In fact, Needham suggests thinking of Neo-Confucian philosophy as “a scheme of thought striving to be a philosophy of organism.”[8]
By studying patterns in nature, we gain an appreciation and understanding of
the world in which we live and how everything is connected. And, by engaging
Nature, we acquire a deeper connection with our spiritual self.
But patterns in nature do not stand alone. They thrive because they are part of
a complex web of interrelationships. Any given object or group always has an
effect on something else. A fish is part of a fish school. The fish school is part of
an ecosystem which is part of a food chain that sustains otherwise unrelated
species. Everything is connected. The system of connectivity is a pattern in
itself.
Patterns are an outward manifestation of an ordered structure and are clues
as to how things are organized and connected. By studying patterns and their
connections at all levels, we are better able to appreciate and understand living organisms, non-living objects, and our world. In this way, the study of a fish
school is a study of our entire planet.
We are surrounded by a kaleidoscope of visual patterns – both living and nonliving. Clouds, trees, rocks, sunflowers, ants at work, birds flocking. Our sun’s
rays breaking through heavy clouds, the breathtaking drama of storm cells,
the symmetry of butterfly wings, the algorithmic nature of sea shells, and the
ordered geometry of spider webs. We marvel at the vaulting beauty of mountain
peaks and the cracks, fissures, shapes, and colors of rocks. Trees in the winter
provide a good example of self similarity. Each large branch is the same basic
pattern as the entire tree. Each smaller branch has the same shape as the larger
branch and, in turn, the same shape as the entire tree. Self similarity is this
sameness at all levels of organization from the smallest twig to the whole tree.
The dynamic recursive processes of self organization lead to self similarity. The
word “fractal” is used to describe patterns in nature that exhibit self-similarity
at many levels of magnification.
Different patterns in nature display a characteristic unity when they contain
geometric shapes and physical processes that either don’t change over time
and space or, at least, change in the same way according to the same “law”.
Mathematicians and scientists call these changes “scaling”. When looking for
unifying factors, we say that we are looking for “scale invariant” or “scale-free”
factors where there is no change in form or function as the scale changes. In a
network with preferential attachment, scale invariant characteristics are prevalent.
Current research indicates that a huge number of patterns in nature are “aristocratic” and scale invariant. This suggests that the power law may be the signature of the unifying principle of connectivity in patterns in nature.
We’ve specified the dynamics of that connectivity by stating that:
The nature of the connections is recursive -- meaning that there is interdependence between patterns and a feedback mechanism within each pattern.
The recursive process produces self organized systems which are self similar
and scale invariant.
The resulting scale invariant network of connected patterns is created by
means of preferential attachment by the patterns that join the system.
In summary, the unifying principle behind patterns in nature is connectivity. That unity is carried out by the connective aristocratic networks within
nature’s patterns. These networks are manifestations of self-organized, selfsimilar, scale invariant patterns and systems of patterns.

big quotation marks, quote pages ^^^^
I like the overlayed drawn images
of the human body used here ^^^^^
This cover looks like it is made out

include something dicut!! the cover

Possible inspiration for table of

I love this table of contents >>>
cirlces or possibly hexagon to be

In short, no pattern is an isolated entity.
Each pattern can exist in the world only
to the extent that is supported by other
patterns: the larger patterns in which it is
embedded, the patterns of the same size
that surround it, and the smaller patterns
which are embedded in it.

Also net a system of intersecting lines, roads,

Neural comes from Greek neuron, “nerve”;
neural network can now refer to computer
architecture in which processors are connected in a manner suggestive of connections
between neurons.
Traceable to the early 16th century, it indicates
a web of connections that link objects, institutions, and/or people.
