PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS OF NATURE
Not every stroke of life ought to be straight. Some look perfect when drawn imperfectly.
The imperfect first gait of a baby..
The lovely curve which was his first abode..
The wavy route taken by a shoot..
The beautiful shapes of the petals of a flower..
The wrinkles on an experienced face..
The laughter lines around the baby's eyes..
Which one is straight ?
The route of a bird’s flight..
The amazing forms of fruits so ripe..
The round belly of a majestic elephant..
The bright feathers of a beautiful peacock..
The shape of a crescent moon..
The amazing contours of heavy clouds that float comfortably in the blue sky..
The elegant curves of a bay….
Well they won't be a bay, if the curve was straight… Anyway
The thoughtless banks of a river as it moves around graciously..
The cool Breeze that soothes your skin..
Does any of it move in a straight line?
The slope of a colossal mountain as it rises to touch the sky..
The shapely curves of the high tides ..
The delicate body of a tiny ant..
Nature finds no beauty in perfectly straight lines!
Straight lines enter the scene when science starts playing with our mind.
Apple fell straight on Newton’s head due to gravity.
Light travels in a straight line until the medium is changed.
To every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.
Any moving body will keep moving in its straight line until an opposite force is applied.
Science is so boring compared to the marvelous intrigues of nature.
(Hold on. I am a doctor, which implies I was a science student all through. I thoroughly enjoyed my studies and bear a hopelessly logical mind)
But what logic is to brain...beauty is to mind
And beauty lies in nature…
In the imperfect shapes of nature..
Can a square or rectangle be anywhere close to the beauty of the shape of an eye?
No way!
Nature is perfectly perfect in its imperfections.
