I heart fractals

Chaos theory makes me want to believe in intelligent design.
Really, I can't imagine any advance of science that would prove God's absence. 
I'm not a zealot - far from it.  But building diversity into the pattern, taming chaos by making it part of the order itself - that's just too brilliant, elegant, long-term to be a random coincidence... 

Memorial Day

Thinking of all the soldiers and civilians killed in wars, and, as is the Russian tradition, remembering all my family and friends who've gone.
I'm lucky to have known you.
