Rh Birds in the air and fishes in the water form shapes by the grouping of their bodies.

Children chasing a butterfly or a ball; children playing

with kites; children rushing along a flat surface bowling their hoops; a flock of

startled geese rising from a marshy mere; a cluster of grubbing sparrows among the puddles of a muddy street; a flock of sheep chases by a dog; a slow procession of cows moving along a lane&mdash;all and each move in a certain pattern.

You will ask, is it possible for anything to move without making some continuous pattern? The answer is that there is no end to movement. We dance, and our arms and legs follow the curves and actions of our body. We run, and the same thing happens in a different degree. The dog wags his tail, not in one, but in many continuous movements. 173
