I was reminded of this post the other day, in a theological sense, while tending to the yard. Human obsessions with quests for 'perfection', which has classically been held out as an aesthetic on some attribute of 'God', be that 'perfect' physique, or harmony, the design of elaborate gardens, costumes and the whole issue of the Golden Ratio. In actual fact, they are none of the sort, they are but resonances with Nature's recursive bi-furtive fractal construction of our physical coming into being, which is to say, they are mirrors of the structure of ourselves, of our optic and audio sensors.

God's garden, on the other hand, is always the astoundingly intricate and mind-boggling complex whole-systems ecological balance of the aeon-aged living biosphere, only superficially and naively seen by us, and our minimal (because Nature only uses minimal data-sampling) fractal-biased senses, as something 'chaotic' and 'disarrayed'.
