So this piece to the right reminds me of cream in coffee. But obviously pink cream. It's done by one Linnea Spransy, i bet some of you have heard of her. She creates limits or parameters for her work to adhere too which i think create exceptionally breathtaking work. Apparently Yale University agrees with me because they passed her so take that critics. This brings me to the title of my blog. Brownian motion refers to the way single particles move in liquids. A particle moving amidst other particles which bounce around with seemingly no trend when looked at under high magnification, form elegant forms under a more macroscopic view. Large groups of these particles, say for instance 6.022 x10^23 of them, form very ordered forms like cream falling through coffee. The massive numbers of iterations in "cream molecules" all obey several set rules, in this case the laws of simple physics, but in the case of Linnea's pen strokes, the laws imposed are her doing. Like either, my mind will be bumping into others and moving about, whether guided or random I don't think is the point but I think in the end the 6.8 x10^9 people on earth right now must be making elegant patterns we don't have the scope to see. Maybe we will be blessed with this divine revelation in this life through prayer, fasting and the acquisition of virtue, or maybe we will have to wait until we shed our mortal coil.
