*This is part of a larger piece exploring how mathematics is related to life. I have always been intrigued by Fibonacci numbers – numbers in a series where any number is the sum of the two preceding it. They are found everywhere in nature from the arrangement of seeds on a pinecone to the gentle spiral of a nautilus shell. I began to wonder how they might apply to me, how they might define me.

I've laid awake many a night wondering, if I were a woman, how many steps it would take me to walk around Stonehenge!
ReplyDeleteYou might take a peek at my ode to one two and three; the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days of River of Stones. They're just for fun...

ReplyDeleteBlue, I found you at Kim Nelson's comment section of her blog. I'm not a "forms" person, but thanks for your explanation of Fibonacci included.
ReplyDeleteThe details you chose to disclose took a lot of research - especially the number of cycles. My ovaries are officially raisins, so I imagine my number is somewhere up there, too!
Glad to read you - you have a gift!
