In this blog, I challenge myself to find phi in everyday life (note to scientists and other literal-minded individuals: this is an analogy!). What is the phi of living? Where is the beauty in our everyday existence? I believe it's all around us waiting to be recognized and discovered. Sometimes it's a flower or another visual scene: sometimes it exists within an exchange with a stranger or the touch of a child's hand.
