Quotes:
• There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. — Francis Bacon (1561-1626) English philosopher & statesman
• When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. — John Muir (1838-1914) Scottish-born American naturalist
Observation: The perfect proportion is known as the Golden Section: the square root of 5 plus 1 divided by 2. This ratio is 1 to 1.618. A is to B as B is to A & B. This is the ratio of most of nature’s most beautiful things: the human body, DNA, the spiral nautilus, et cetera.
Comment: Symmetry is beautiful in physical manifestation. Symmetry of the soul is not only seen; it is also felt.
Symbol: Gemini (Zodiac)
