Looking for patterns in your life.....

When you look at patterns in your life, you can find a variety of things that are decorated with repeated designs for our enjoyment.  Our lives are patterned also, some are so tightly lived that there every day follows a tight pattern, rigid and orderly.

Other patterns we see out there really don't appear to be in order at all. A repeat of the rocks exist when we look at it but nothing is actually in order at all.  Sometimes we live our lives like that and find life out of control.

Pattern can be a repetition of similar shapes but the order is less structured. Color unifies this pattern but there is no motif, set of structures to hold it together.

Some repetitions have a large variety in their sizes of items, but they are all the same thing.

It doesn't matter whether the color is bright or dull it still is a repetition of the very same size.  It is a random pattern again with informal structure.

Sometimes our lives get to be so patterned that it is hard to find individuality. We tend to stay in the line with such rigidity that we don't search for something new. We don't take the road less traveled, or we don't look for new roads to explore.   It is hard to find a balance in life, it is hard not to be in a rut, and it really is hard to find the balance that allows us to have a little bit of both.  

Our lives will always be in patterns,  just like decoration, and we should really work on knowing the difference between the good and bad designs that affect our quality of life.
