The entire quote reads:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNot a whit, we defy augury. There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ’tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAugury was the ancient Roman practice of divination through birds (the root of words like auspicious and inauguration). To illustrate the concept of an invisible design as visualized through birds, we chose a murmuration, a flock of tens of thousands or more birds. Although each individual bird is simply reacting to the birds immediately around it, the murmuration as a whole becomes an organic, undulating chaotic structure, a living system with its own emergent will.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven the smallest sacrifices are part of a grander design that we cannot fathom with our limited perception. Perhaps the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e will of the Gods” that our ancestors were trying to divine was simply an emergent structure we might call a murmuration of humans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"meta\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"meta\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"meta\"\u003e• 11x14 inch art print with white border \u003cbr\u003e• Premium, fine art paper made in New York \u003cbr\u003e• Elegant eggshell finish\u003cbr\u003e• Ships in a a rigid, flat mailer.
