"Symmetry principles are characterized by a quietude, a stillness that is somehow beyond the bustling world; yet, in one way or another, they are almost always involved with transformation, disturbance, or movement."
​- David Wade

In the Mayan culture the god Hunab is the master of everything that can be measured, everything that can be weighed. His symbol is a square with a circle in it. This is sacred geometry; the symbol itself gives a teaching. These shapes are also the building blocks used to create our reality. - Paul Werner Duarte
