Nature

If humankind needed proof of infinity, I would only have to look at Nature. It surprises me how often I seem to be unable to see that which is so obvious.

The seasons come, and the seasons go.

Wherever I am in the world, the seasons arrive and depart when they are expected.

The evidence is before us

If we destroy the planet’s current Climate,
we destroy Humankind.
Nature, however, *will* recover.

Nature is indestructible.

Gardeners and Landscapers possess a wealth of information and expertise quietly built over a lifetime, and can very accurately define that which is annual, biannual, and perennial.

The evidence is before me of life renewing itself continually, not as in generations, but as in one particular plant continuing and, as in the case of trees, for many hundreds of years, many species for a thousand or more years, some for five thousand years, and as in the case of fungi, living as the same organism for more than two thousand eight hundred years.

The closer I am to Nature, the closer I am to the key to knowing what lies ahead of me, of us, and this fills me with unbounded confidence in my future in this incredible multiverse, which is the tiniest part of the Universe.

Notwithstanding pandemics and wars, we are Nature’s greatest, and deliberate, enemy.

If we destroy the planet’s current Climate, we destroy Humankind. But here’s the dichotomy.

Nature, however, will recover.

Simply put, Nature is always better off when not encumbered by the human species. Eminent scientists and physicists remind me that the life of the Universe as we know it, will one day end. The Universe will die. I do not argue with this at all.

Nature, however, is beyond. Constant. Evolving. Nature is permanent. That gives me more than any religion can ever do. Nature is not the invention of humankind. Religions, all of them without exception, are the invention of people. And whilst Nature stands infallible, Humankind crouches fallible.

Nature is indestructible.

*Why cannot people see that which is so obvious?*

*Well, it’s not easy when you suggest we shake ourselves out of our comfort zones …*

*Yes, but my goodness, when we do get there, what awaits us is too glorious to put into words …*

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.

He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.

Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.

In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
