Lockdown Day 14: All Kinds of Beautiful

I was once talking to someone who did a lot of flower arranging.  She told me that in nature, life is filled with odd numbers.  Flowers usually grow in odd numbers. There are usually an odd number of petals on a flower.  In her arrangements, she continues the theme of odd numbers to ensure that the arrangement is more beautiful.  I checked flowers for ages afterwards, only to find that the odd number theory continued.  Even the shell in my bathroom has an odd number of ridges!

We are also told that people are usually considered more attractive if they have a more symmetrical face. Of course, beauty is skin deep, so that is just an initial judgement that we make before getting to know the person.

Life is full of all kinds of beautiful. Odd numbers, even numbers. Symmetrical, asymmetrical. Inner, outer. Industrial, agricultural. Urban, rural. Minimalist, elaborate. Where is the beauty in your everyday life at the moment?

God bless!
