Have you ever seen this vegetable? It is a Romanesco broccoli. It has a fractal pattern, with larger spikes being made out of smaller spikes. Fractals grow by iteration (repetition) of self-similar forms.

In the Fractal Universe, everything is a repetition of a single self-similar unit called a Sparksphere. It isn’t a shape; it’s a pattern of Being and Doing.

Just as the little spikes participate in the Romanesco broccoli’s form, your cells participate in you-ness. You are not merely made of cells. You are formed by their recursive assembly into higher order. You, too, are a fractal emergence, a Sparksphere.

Take a moment to reflect:

• Where in your body or life do you notice patterns repeating at different scales?
  Are sound, sight, taste, smell, and touch providing fragments that form a unified image of your surroundings?
• Do daily actions accumulate into something larger—like an education, a career, a childhood, or parenthood?
