Blair for Mayor sent me this satellite weather photo from midday yesterday and asks how the sky knew it was Te Wiki o te Reo Maori – Maori language week?
I think I’m sitting in the middle of and underneath that koru now and it’s not so ?taahua looking up at it as it is looking down.

The Koru is based on the spiral growth form which naturally expresses itself in living things such as ferns and shellfish etc etc.
(read any book on deterministic chaos -the best is probably Gribben’s “Deep simplicity”.
Deterministic chaos, as a guiding principle behind the universe was discovered by Lorenz, a meteorologist, and he was not doubt delighted when he saw the fibonacci spiral in cloud systems photographed from satellites. Golden mean, koru, nautilus, weather, seeds in sunflower heads, galactic spirals, all based on the same deep simplicity.

Beautiful indeed and I love the layers of meaning we can draw from natural phenomena – not many rectangles in nature…
