The Rhythmic Universe

Rhythm is everywhere.  The universe is rhythmic; our planet is rhythmic; life is rhythmic.

To be rhythmic is to produce patterns, repeated patterns and variations of patterns.  

Pattern is a fundamental aspect of the universe.  

When you travel look for the rhythm in your surroundings.  Every scene and every interesting thing has rhythm.  To have a rhythm is to have pattern.  Pattern has movement, tempo & even volume & textures.  Patterns are perceived by the senses.  Every sense can perceive patterns.  The ear hears sound patterns, the eye sees visual patterns, the hands can feel patterns, even our olfactory senses can perceive the patterns of ingredients within food.
