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.

River of Gone Words

 Another trek to the river of Gone Words Another sack of snap-backs One more time of packing it down To throw in and be forgot Another bunch of words not said Another expression stillborn on my tongue One more bouquet of complaints Tossed into the River of Gone Words Another wish sent to drown Another desire to let go One more urn of the unspoken Sacrificed to River of Gone Words This is safer ​ This is best These are better left unexpressed

My choice for our next book

We have a loose rule that everyone in the club gets to choose a book for us all to read. We're in agreement to read it - or some of it, even if we don't like it.  It's my turn!  I just ordered my copy on Amazon and I can't wait to get started. I hope y'all like this book. Sophie Strand is an amazing human being (thanks to Corinne for telling me about her). This book is hot off the press.
