Whether seeing the network map of human organs connecting the vascular systems for the first time, or under the shade of a papaya leaf veins spreading like a giant web on a bright sunny day (while plucking up a stem to make a flute), or seeing through dried leaves with their bare open skeletons for school projects… A subtle but billions of years old natural wisdom that speak to connection of species to spacial patterns and network pathways that coexists, overlaps seamlessely and flawlessely with optimum resource management.

Since ancient times of Mayans, Aboriginal & Indegenous, African and Asian civilizations, the residential areas and transport guided by stars, water & forest links seem to mimic these natural patterns – even unconsciously…underpining significant relationship to the space and an expression of cultural maps. “Ma” (間) encompasses space, time, interval, and the importance of free or stillness   – a foundational Japanese concept that invites appreciation for spacial awareness and its utility Nature is a symphony of wisdom, each leaf, seed and creature in spacial harmony from moon to sun. In its quiet embrace, optimum, sustainable solutions are readily avaiable to nourish the earth and one’s soul.

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”! ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince.
