Up close, nature reveals the humbling endlessness of its fractal tapestry. These exoskeletal striations, jeweled with morning dew, were perched delicately over verdant strands of chlorophyll machinery. Hidden beneath this macro view, one can imagine invisible microscopic worlds, crowded neatly with organic and inorganic chemistries; creatures living lifetimes of metabolic histories.
Still beyond these dimensions exist enigmatic physical forces -- fields of gravity and electromagnetism, which persistently hold together this arcane order of beauty even as the relentless forces of entropy ooze slowly out of this thermodynamically scintillating continuum of space and time.
This play of light and colors, wavelengths and frequencies, engage excitedly with the retinal cells of our gorgeous eyes, spitting out composite images of sheer complexity, projecting it all onto the network of occipital neurons firing seamlessly in the corner of our ancient mammalian brains. Admittedly, these words are merely a poetic attempt to articulate the ineffable magic of this mind-boggling reality. But how else could we see?
