Curves of Life

Lodgepole pine

Humans build with rectangles. 
Life prefers curves.

Spiral bark and branch nodes

    Take your average tree: a straight post with
    brushy stuff on top, right?

    Nope.

    Let your eye follow the lines in tree bark. 

    You will find a spiral. 

    Some obvious. 

    Others less so.                        

Then there are bones, shells, feathers, flesh: 

curved surfaces spiraling one
into another.

Under it all, the doubly spiraling helices of DNA.

ferns                                                     horns                                                            


your ear          


         It's a spiral life.
