An Ode to the Spiral



In numbers, there lies a beauty profound,
In spirals, this beauty is perfectly wound.
From sunflower fields to the galaxies' twirl,
The spiral is nature's own charming whirl.

Born of the digits, a dance in array,
Unfolding in elegance, in a cosmic ballet.
Each spiral unique, with a twist of its own,
A story in curves, through seeds it has sown.

Oh, spiral, you're the golden angle's delight,
Your logarithmic twist an amazing sight.
In the nautilus shell and the hurricane's might,
Your form is captured in every sight.

In the sunflower's face, your secret we find,
Seeds spiraling out in patterns aligned.
A mirrored image of the starry night,
Linking the earth to the cosmos' flight.

From Fibonacci's sequence to the Milky Way's band,
You twirl and you twist, both simple and grand.
Oh, spiral, your beauty is a sight to behold,
In each sweeping curve, a story told.

Your dance, a harmony of space and time,
A testament to the universe's rhyme.
In every turn, in every spin,
Lies the magic of the world we're in.

So here's to you, oh beautiful spiral,
Your form in nature is truly viral.
In the stars, in flowers, in all we see,
You are the link, the cosmic decree.

Sofa-Philo: Musing on Reincarnation's Knots with a Woman of Faith

Greetings, fellow sofa-philosophers! Today, we're venturing into the swirling mists of reincarnation, guided by a question from myself, a woman of faith not confined by organized religion, but embracing the eternal, believing the Divine and defined by relationship. Buckle up, for we're tackling thorny questions that may prick even the most seasoned thinkers. Firstly, the "one spirit or soul" puzzle. Some interpret it as a single, eternal entity cycling through lives, carrying experiences like baggage (or maybe souvenirs?), while others envision a pool of souls embarking on independent journeys. Both hold fascinating implications: the single soul whispers of shared pasts and intertwined destinies, while the individual soul speaks of unique paths and a boundless universe of consciousness. Then comes the elephant in the metaphysical living room: population explosion. If souls cycle, doesn't the human herd keep multiplying like bunnies on espresso? Some hypothesize in...

Dear Diary

 I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an.  So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would.  I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here.  But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here.  Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.
