I have written before about the genius of nature in constructing perfect structures. There is no force or art like nature as it builds organic forms that work in simple design or in the infinitely complex. Take for example a flower with petals that radiate out from the center. Look at the marvelous way that the shapes integrate with each other: overlapping, supporting, designing the ultimate shape. Never replicating a single construction, nature creates flowers that are each unique. In a cookie-cutter world that accomplishment deserves our respect and the acknowledgement that nature is the supreme designer.
