There's just something about spirals...beautiful, geometric, artistic, mathematical, magical, mesmerizing....
This past year, we studied "phi", the Golden ratio, phyllotaxis, and spirals. Now, we see spirals everywhere...flowers, leaf patterns, shells....
We built a labyrinth at our old house (great homeschooling project!), but we don't quite have enough space at our new house for a labyrinth.
Labyrinth at our old house
So, instead, we have built a spiral! Daddy and the kids carved out a path in the vines, spiraling towards the fountain near Rabbie and Navy's cage. We collected rocks from the river and the yard to line the spiral. Mommy planted some wildflower seeds in the dirt areas and they are starting to sprout!
The spiral may be seen from the deck and from Joey's room. It's a meditative reminder to us whenever we see it.
Where do you see spirals?
