I really cannot get over how lovely these are! This kind of stuff always takes me back to those peaceful moments of focusing on geometric forms in a kind of mandalic meditation. When we go deep enough, the order of The Universe presents itself to us, beckoning like a lush garden filled with warm sunlight.

One of the most inspiring and beautiful mathematical works that I have ever come across is "Patterns In Space" by Robert Stanley Beard. You might have already heard of it. If not, can I share some constructions out of it with you?

Beautifully said, Sage! Each glimpse at The Order is truly a gift. And I haven't heard of Patterns In Space, but I'm excited to see it here on ThriftBooks! Of course I'd appreciate some selections of Mr. Beard's constructions! Thank you!

Really cool! I love constructions and sangaku have all sorts of interesting geometry (usually involving tangent circles).

Yes! I learned about sangaku while looking for simpler ways to construct regular pentagons. Very interesting.

Dann's story hits home a bit too much, even if for different holidays...

I know what you mean! The change and the longing gets us all. But we amble on. Dann captures it well :-)

so important to hydrate, please remember to hydrate!

Cool drawing and idea! A spine more flexible than a traditional sketchbook is always nice.

The act of mindless scrolling is a difficult habit to resist. Reminding yourself next time that the previous time was pointless certainly helps.
