1545. sweet gum balls

 

just like fingerprints
all there is - is so unique
infinite designs 🦊❤️

It was a windy morning and Sweet Gum balls littered the trail.  They are so beautiful that I hated to step on them as we passed through their debris field.  I was moved to turn back, pick one up and look at it closely.  It didn’t take long for a thought about the geometric and sculptural uniqueness and beauty of its form to appear.   This spring-boarded my thoughts to the inconceivable realization that EVERYTHING everywhere possesses its own uniqueness. No two Sweet Gum ball, no two blades of grass, no two flies, no two anything are exactly alike. I know this narrative is an exercise in expounding on the mundane… but regardless… WOW! 🦊❤️
