Nature
IF EVER humankind needed proof of infinity, I have only 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.
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 1,000 or more years, some for 5,000 years, and as in the case of fungi, living as the same organism for more than 2,800 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.
I write this notwithstanding pandemics and wars, in the full knowledge that we are Nature’s greatest, and deliberate, enemy.
If we destroy the planet’s current Climate, we destroy Humankind. Nature, however, will recover.
Simply put, Nature is always better off when not encumbered by the human species.
