MID STAR

right in the middle

there is a star that flows out

to infinite stars

the pattern of stars that emanate from the mid (central) star remind me of the fractal idea coined by Benoit Mandelbrot...fractals are one of the ways we can tell if something is natural or human as typically natural things like plants and rocks show fractal patterns (the larger parts have the same pattern/shape as the smaller ones down to the microscopic level) whereas many things created by humans like microwaves and can openers are not fractal in their appearance.

in what ways are the things we create fractal, beginning small and building to something bigger where the whole is the sum of the parts, and yet, there is something more in the whole than merely the sum of the parts...fractals don't account for this greater synergistic idea, this greater life of the whole...as one example, surely our consciousness (our self-reflective awareness of life and the interconnectedness of all things) is more than the sum of the parts of our physical brain. 

when we create, let us remember that we are making something bigger than the some of the parts, something that ideally gives/adds to life and light as Christopher Alexander says in his theories of architecture...something of the stuff of stars.
