Replying to a comment on:

Resting on sand near the edge of the waves a cozy seashell a spiral in Phi pillows of pearl line the abode strong armor against any foe No resident here a home just for one a place to curl up and do what I want Let them clamber and rage and ask where Iâm at call me recluse and be just about right.

Anytime I can set two poems before someone and hear him say that only one of them heâs just not feelinâ, well, thatâs a good day. Thanks for honesty.

By the way, when a peregrine falcon swoops toward its prey at close to 200 mph, it follows a curve known as a logarithmic spiral. The shortest path, of course, would be a straight one, but since a falcon's eyes are opposed on either side of its head, straight flight would require the bird to cock its head to keep the prey in sight. Nature loves the logarithmic spiral. From sunflowers, seashells and whirlpools to hurricanes and spiral galaxies, we see this form at all scales. Encoded within the logarithmic spiral is perhaps the most mystical of all numbers, phi, approximately 1.61803.
