Li: The Patterns of Nature

"Li" is a Chinese word that refers to the underlying intelligence and order of nature as reflected in its organic forms. This film explores in poetic, non-narrative terms, the myriad patterns of nature that are spontaneously generated in the physical world and blurs the distinction between living and inanimate phenomena.

Through the use of special cinematographic techniques, including time-lapse and microscopy, the film highlights instances of Li patterning in the natural world, interweaving spatial and temporal rhythms from natural textures and the cycles of birth and decay, night and day, and the seasons.

Bravo! That is the pictograph for "Li." It is composed of the pictographs for Jade, a symbol of purity and the vitality of life; and the pictograph for Veins.  Thus Li's original meaning: "The Veins in Jade"- and a description of its meaning as the very essence of the vital force of nature.

@vegaspilot03 You can't buy Cosmos dream marvel neither believ in it .No way ! "owning things " is useless.

The only keys are knowledge & the dream of death which are greatest learning ways.Shorter words =To reach life slices tuned on great cosmos frequency ,you need to accept your anytime possible death as a dismal event!.Same as for the greatest things of human short life : you meet your happyiest yourself on micrometric closing of the thin surface between life & death. .But don't tear
