Do you find patterns and designs in clouds? For sure, I do. It need not even be a particularly lazy day. A cursory look at the sky even on the busiest day, and I can trace all sorts of patterns and pics there.
Indeed clouds, even liquids, do form such patterns. On one of the groups, there is this lovely forward. Instead of its usual vertical stand-up position, there is this cup that has fallen, not broken really though. May be, the person, who drank the tea, was in a hurry. The remaining dregs are spread nearby the tilted cup. Looked at carefully, in the horizontal position, the dripping dregs have spread in such a way that we can see a sketch of the old time Parvati, without the zopadpatti, of course.
What would this ability to see patterns mean? Sure, being imaginative and fanciful for one thing. It would mean, moreover, that the visual, the kinetic and the kinaesthetic abilities are sharper as well. Multiple aspects of intelligence are active, so to say. May be, eternal positivity and optimism as well?
Anyways, are not there such patterns everywhere? In literature, in music, in film making, and in painting? Why, I would even say that there are patterns in/to people's behaviours as well, right? And, oh, yes, there is a pattern to life, too. It adds a sense of order to existence. So long as such discipline does not get reduced in to regimentation, I suppose, all is well!
Pratima@ Well, both Isiah Berlín and Fritjof Capra seem to share my opinions because both believe that understanding itself begins with perception of patterns!
