Mom and I were watching Rick Steves last night special on Iran and he highlighted many beautiful mosque, like Isfahan. Intricate tiled art found in mosque is no accident that those patterns create a soothing place of prayer and meditation. The math that produces mesmerizing patterns . We oohed and aahed for an hour. This is a great piece "The Tiles of Infinity" and Modularity in Medieval Persian Mosaics. More beautiful images of Islamic Heritage.

Some Concentric Circles meanings as to their relationship of life. Leave you with some images for thought.
Ok, so I am probably not smart enough to understand some of these things, but it does get my mind thinking in a bigger realm. Makes me step outside my depression for a minute and think in larger ideas. Curiosity is a marvelous thing. Now, I have to go back to work. ;) xoxoxo

This makes my heads spin because I too am not smart enough to understand but I find it sofascinating. There's a new Keifer Sutherland TV show where he plays the father of a gifted an unusual son who understands the Fibonacci numbers.
