We get an appreciation and comprehension of the environment in which we live and how everything is connected by examining patterns in nature. And, through participating with Nature, we develop a stronger connection with our spiritual selves. We live in a kaleidoscope of visual patterns, both living and non-living.
There are both patterns and non-patterns. Things that aren't recurring patterns aren't very useful to us, therefore we don't record, recognise, or recall them - how could we? Look at the baby playing around aimlessly, and then the baby suddenly repeats a certain action, and we exclaim intellect!
