Observe Your Phalanges - #208

"Plants have learned how to arrange their branches at the exact mathematical angle that allows each leaf to absorb the greatest amount of sunlight.

"Our finger bones or phalanges embody this exact same mathematical ratio, which allow the hand to integrate the part with the whole and to open and close in the most efficient, elegant way."*

When leaves return in a few weeks, notice how the branches are arranged to provide maximum sunlight for them.

Observe your hands gracefully open and close. Notice how often you use them every hour.

Two ways to continue exploring the mystery - Nicky Mendenhall

Nature and our bodies will be coming to life soon! Are you ready for the season to change? Please let us know what you look forward to as well as what you dread.
