Convergence

For keen observers chaos and order converge like tributaries join into one river. For keen observers imperfection becomes perfection and moments spiral into the eternal.

1. Utility & Purpose
Nature does nothing uselessly.
- Aristotle

2. Surface & Depth
Nothing is rich but the inexhaustible wealth of nature. She shows us only surfaces, but she is a million fathoms deep.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


3. Imperfection & Beauty
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.
- Alice Walker


 4. Moments & Timelessness
There's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away.
- Sarah Kay
