I wrote this at a time when I was thinking about shapes as one does from time to time and the progression through dimensions.
And during my musings this list piece came to mind.
From simple to complex
Squares, triangles and circles
Shapes are a curious thing
Two dimensional shapes
We all know of these.
Then there are three dimensional shapes
Like cubes spheres and pyramids
We know these a little less.
Progressing still further
When movement is brought into this image
Let’s say it rotates on its axis
We can then appreciate it with more understanding
But when we add a fourth dimension
The understanding needs to move up a rung
We ask, what would that look like?
How can I explain this?
For instance if this fourth dimension was time
Our mind is challenged and we find it difficult to understand
We may grasp the meaning
But we can not integrate this to satisfactory explain it.
