I think you picked just the right number of patterns to show both in weather and biology similiar features of dissipative energy structures rising to overflow the chaos that threatens the world through entropy's randomness. I think you meshed the images just superbly with the words, to give us a sense of God's grandeur and daedal design.
I think this piece deserves an Editor's Pick.

What a wonderful piece. Nature is poetry, eh Carol?
I've been savoring this with my morning coffee. It's providing a perfect moment, as my pets sleep at my feet and the house is quiet and peaceful. (Fred has taken the children out for a round of golf.)
Thank you for this!
Wonderfully written, intelligent.
