The yellow moon rises over the deep orange-red setting sun to creep slowly over the world followed by a dark blanket sinking comfortably over the world below. The cycles of the sun and moon never fail in their punctual appearances.

We rely on the natural rhythms of the universe and the laws of nature. These patterns form the backdrop of our existence and the inherent symmetry is magnificent.

For example, spirals of life are found everywhere around the world. The Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 and 1 and increases based on the sum of the previous two numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on.

 Many natural formations are based on this sequence including the leaves on a stem, the rows in a pine cone, the array of seeds in the center of a sunflower, pineapple, cauliflower, the flowering of an artichoke, and so on.  The beauty is incomprehensible.

At a micro and macro level, our universe is interconnected. Nature can teach us many things if we pay attention. Ask a question, look to nature, and let it teach you.
