I am an environmental scientist. A large part of my career has been dedicated to scientific research into the structure of ecosystems and factors that affect them. Quite early on, it became apparent that certain mathematical iterative principles formed geometries that coincided exactly with those found in natural ecosystems. And by ecosystems, I do not mean just plants and animals. The same principles also apply to quantum physics, geology, meteorology and on up to the formation of galaxies. These relationships were championed most publicly by the brilliant mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot, the founder of fractal geometry.
To my mind, the structure of natural ecosystems through application of these iterative processes revealed not only the genius and subtlety of nature but also its incomparable beauty. Â

Thankyou, Stan. A dedication so beautiful is unspeakably wonderful. As you know, I'm fighting H1N1 and complications, but today is quite a lot better. For me, this image portrays beautifully the dilemma of the candidate. Of course, there is only one choice. The guardian at each side of the Gateway ensure this. Maybe a few candidates have have chosen the Left or the Right path. But this candidate walks quietly and resolutely through the portal to the Hall of Mirrors beyond. Every facet of the candidate's physical and spiritual selves is portrayed. The mirror reflections cannot lie, stripping from the candidate all but the basic essences of Life; only these will be retained as the cleansed Being passes through this eperince for the first and only time. There is no going back. Your next image follows as it must. So thankyou my friend for this most precious gift.
