Have you ever come across a little book entitled “Li: Dynamic Form in Nature” by David Wade?
It’s tiny, but it’s a total treat.
He takes and old Chinese philosophical concept “li” and translates it in a particular way which throws an amazing light on what we see around us.
Simply put, he describes li as the invisible forces, or energies which produce the different shapes and forms of the natural world – you know the kind of things – the branching forms of a tree or root system, the wave forms in water and sand, the feathery patterns of clouds and, ah, well, feathers!
I love encountering these kinds of echoes and symmetries, especially when we can see a similar form in two or more completely different contexts – like the sky I look up at, then the feather I find on the grass at my feet.

That sounds fascinating! Thanks for the suggestion.
Nice thoughts. If you are curious about patterns in nature there are interesting theories.
Rupert Sheldrake calls it “Morphic Resonance” as far as biological systems are concerned. It’s his explanation for things he claims can’t be explained by genetics alone and the reason for conciousness. http://www.sheldrake.org/
Other theories pose the notion there are repeating fractal patterns, from the subatomic, to the cosmic scale caused by the underlying forces of electromagnetism. https://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/
For a science and evidence based discussion of Sacred Geometry, listen to Randall Carlson at: http://sacredgeometryinternational.com/randall-carlson
I bet these ideas are compatible with David Wade’s.
Great suggestions and thanks for including the links
