The geometry of fractals has always fascinated me. You see them everywhere—spirals in seashells, the branching of trees, the pattern of rivers flowing toward the sea. Each small part echoes the whole. Infinity hiding inside the ordinary.

And isn’t life like that? Our lives move in fractal patterns, too. The same lessons return again and again, but each time with a slight twist, a fresh perspective. What once felt like a setback often reveals itself as the spiral lifting us to a higher vantage point.

Fractals teach us that repetition isn’t failure—it’s growth in motion. We circle back to familiar places, but we are not the same as we were before. Our relationships, our challenges, even our joys—they repeat, but never in quite the same way.

This is the secret beauty of being human: our flaws and stumbles are not detours, but part of the intricate lacework of our becoming. Each cycle carries us deeper into wisdom, closer to the truth of who we are.

Like the seashell, like the fern, like the galaxies themselves—we are fractals of the cosmos. Finite yet infinite, flawed yet radiant, spiraling into beauty with every turn.

Today, notice the fractals in your own life. What pattern is repeating? What lesson is circling back to meet you? And how might you embrace it differently this time around?
