the universe's favorite habit, repeating itself until you finally notice the trick.
means A repeated or regular arrangement of shapes, events, or behaviors — or a template you follow to make something the same way each time.
from From Old French 'patron,' meaning a model or something to be imitated — the very same word that gives us 'patron.' The idea was that a patron set the example others copied. English borrowed it, and over centuries the spelling and sense drifted apart: 'patron' kept the benefactor, while 'pattern' took the template. Both trace back to Latin 'pater,' father — the original maker of the mold.
