Sublime

nature makes only what she wants where she wants and when she wants.

Nature transcends our tendencies to label and classify, to reduce and limit. The natural world is unfathomably more rich, interwoven, and complicated than we are taught, and so much more mysterious and beautiful.

Nature runs on sunlight. Nature uses only the energy it needs. Nature fits form to function. Nature recycles everything. Nature rewards cooperation. Nature banks on diversity. Nature demands local expertise. Nature curbs excesses from within. Nature taps the power of limits.

So I start from the premise that nature is smarter than I am and try to let nature teach me how reality works.

What’s something about the natural world that fascinates you?
