To tame a fractal
is to sit with something
that is chaos by its nature..
that refuses to have an end.

It branches outward.
It fractures into smaller infinities.
Not letting you see its true endings.
Defiantly multiplying when you try to contain it.

At first it feels like too much.
Too bright.
Too intricate.
Too alive.

Like your own heart when it is unguarded.

You lean closer.
The edges ripple with detail.
Small flames birthing into yet more flames.
No final line.
No detectable border.

You think taming means reducing it.
Simplifying it.
Dimming it.
Making it manageable.

But the fractal does not shrink for your comfort.

It waits.

It waits for your breath to slow.
For your shoulders to soften.
For the fist in your chest to unclench.
For your acceptance as it is.

Taming is not control.
It is intimacy.

Trace one luminous thread.
Just one!
Follow it as it curves.
and becomes another.
and another.

Notice the repetition.
The steady returning.
The hidden heartbeat beneath the riot of light.

What looks like chaos is devotion.

What looks like excess is faithfulness to its own design.

And suddenly, you realize that you have been trying to tame yourself this way.

Trying to compress your feelings.
Simplify your depths.
Straighten your spirals.
Border your infinite self.

But you are fractal too!

Your grief echoes!
Your joy multiplies!
Your mistakes repeat until they become wisdom!

The wildness in you is patterned.
The overflow in you has rhythm.
The limits in you are your own design.

To tame a fractal is to stop fighting its infinity,
and let it move through you without resistance.

To let your breath match its movement.
To let your pulse mirror its order.
To let your mind be unconfined.

And in that surrender, something astonishing happens.

The fractal grows gentler.
Not because it changed.
But because you did!

The light no longer blinds you.
It warms you.

The ordered chaos no longer confuses you.
It frees you.

The endlessness no longer threatens.
It holds you.

You do not conquer a fractal.
You embrace its ordered chaos.

You do not silence its wild turning.
You learn its visual music.

You see more than you see as you visually witness infinity.

And there,
in the center of its infinite unfolding,
you find a quiet, trembling truth:

What needed taming was never the pattern.

It was your fear of how vast you are allowed to be!
