from trevor’s encyclopedia of beauty in the plain, genius in the simple, wonder in the ordinary and courage in the human

Eight of my favorite words are - beauty, plain, genius, simple, wonder, ordinary, courage and human.

I choose eight words because 8 laying down is the symbol for infinity.


They are my infinity words.


I’m creating an encyclopedia with pictures and entries under each word.


Yes, I know. I’m a nerd. But a sincere and lovable one.


These infinity words are filled with simple ideas. 


The ideas are simple like the simplicity of a sunflower. 


A sunflower begins it’s life as a seed in the ground. 


The seed mixes with soil, water, and sunlight and grows up into a plant.


In time, it's face opens to the sun with a face that looks like the sun, a face that is simple and beautiful. 


If you look closely at the face of a sunflower, you will see a simple pattern that is found often in nature, a pattern that nature seems to use as its building block, a pattern that can be graphed by using the Fibonacci sequence, a sequence of numbers that follow the pattern 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21..., a pattern based on the golden ratio, which is found by dividing neighboring  Fibonacci numbers, which gets closer to number 1.62 the farther into infinity you go.


Wow.
