“In spiral phyllotaxis, the number of visible spirals, called parastichies, are most often two successive elements of the Fibonacci sequence:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 …
where each number is the sum of the previous two. When this occurs, the angle between successive leaves or botanical element is close to the Golden Angle – about 137.5o, related to the golden mean.”

“Morning has Broken…
Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day”

“Dear Friends,

Levon is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey. …

Thank you fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration… he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage…

We appreciate all the love and support and concern.

Sandy and Amy”
