 Anything looked closely at becomes wonderful. 

A. R. Ammons

 Take a look at the simplest of flowers.  The center of a daisy is made up of so many parts. but these parts form a pattern. The center of a flower often forms a spiral pattern. A common pattern in nature has been named the Fibonacci Sequence, as the scientist by this name defined it. The pattern goes like this: add the occurring number to the number preceding it to arrive at the next number.eg: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 , 13, 21. 

You see, 1+1 is 2; add 3, you get 5;  3 + 5, you get 8; etc.

I’m not sure if the daisy center follows the Fibonacci Sequence, but many things in nature do.

Do me a favor, my friend, and look closely at something, anything. It may become wonderful to you!
