Have you ever heard the word fractal before?
From the online Merriam-Webster dictionary:
If you look at any of God's creations you will see fractals; trees, flowers, clouds, rivers, sea shores, mountains, seashells, snowflakes, hurricanes, etc. Fractals are images of dynamic systems and said to be pictures of chaos.

"The Shack" by William P Young
""It was chaos in color. His eyes tried unsuccessfully to find some order in this blatant disregard for certainty. Dazzling sprays of flowers were blasted through patches of randomly planted vegetables and herbs, vegetation the likes of which Mack had never seen. It was confusing, stunning, and incredibly beautiful.
"From above it's a fractal," Sarayu said over her shoulder with an air of pleasure.
"A what?" asked Mack absentmindedly, his mind still trying to grapple with and control the pandemonium of sight and the movements of hues and shades. Every step he took changed whatever patterns he for an instant thought he had seen, and nothing was like it had been.""
I look at America's forefathers wanting a kind of country with a government for all people. A government that works for the good of all, no mater what their race, creed, religion, or color. I see this as a fractal, something that is infinitely beautiful in a chaotic way. But, we are tearing this apart. We want to fit everyone into the box we believe to be the perfect box. We want a perfect manicured English garden.
Have you ever had conversations with others not like yourself? There is just something about the experience that is rich and refreshing. Getting a glimpse into the cultures of others is so fascinating; their music, their food, their dance, their poetry, their thoughts, their religion. Why try to control everyone into one type when God does not?
