Snowflake Fractal

A poem by Elisa, A Reader of Crystalinks

Delicate icicles dangle in delight.
Each frozen finger depicts a tiny light.

Encapsulated in nature's preservation of time
A water droplet becomes crystallization sublime.

Such pauses of reflection and awesome glory
Find their splendor in the icicle's simple story.

Take time to hear her speak a word heart felt, Before the sunshine does her beauty melt.

Her still small voice holds secrets untold-
Do not fear the chills of bitter cold. Life's winters bring lessons upon which a soul can grow
As do melted icicles over heaps of bitter snow.

Refreshing the ground like a soothing ointment,
Leaving behind winter's disappointment,

Softening the seeds ready to burst into radiant flowers,
Comforting the heart through its anguished hours.

Snowflakes and Sacred Geometry

Snowflakes Wikipedia

A snowflake is either a single ice crystal or an aggregation of ice crystals which falls through the Earth's atmosphere. They begin as snow crystals which develop when microscopic supercooled cloud droplets freeze. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Complex shapes emerge as the flake moves through differing temperature and humidity regimes, such that individual snowflakes are nearly unique in structure. Snowflakes encapsulated in rime form balls known as graupel. Snowflakes appear white in color despite being made of clear ice. This is due to diffuse reflection of the whole spectrum of light by the small crystal facets.

Snowflake Scientist Reveals Secrets Behind Shapes
National Geographic - February 26, 2004

French philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes penned the first detailed account of snow crystal structure in 1637. Three and a half centuries - and countless blizzards - since, scientists still can't fully explain how snowflakes form their unique shapes.
