Self Similar

Fractal

A repeating pattern

The same on every level

A repeating pattern

Fixed or random

A repeating pattern

Magnified in the geometry of nature

A repeating pattern

Of natural phenomena

A repeating pattern

Complex and beautiful

A repeating pattern

Of parallel mirrors

A repeating pattern

In a snowflake, a crystal or ocean waves

A repeating pattern

In our DNA

A repeating pattern

Reaching into space

A repeating pattern

In the rings of Saturn

A repeating pattern

Of strange attractors escaping time

A repeating pattern

Of the little man inside the head

Of the little man inside the head

Of the little man…
