Convergence

This scene caught my eye because of the way many strands of web all converged on the single leaf. This was taken on a foggy morning, and the strands stood out because they were covered in drops of water. I think the thing that seemed surprising was the sheer number of individual strands.

Looking at it later, I was also struck by the many different places that the strands came from, creating a powerful structure for catching food. The individual strands work together, producing something that is stronger than a single single one.

Ideas can work this way.

Sometimes ideas can come from many different places and converge in a single thought or belief. This is especially useful when thinking about things for which we have incomplete information, such as metaphysical topics.
