We may learn some incredibly valuable insights from the loveliness we call Nature. Just think of your most memorable experience with being alone with God and One with him and the great outdoors. Listen to the resounding call of Nature.

The beautiful essence of Nature's wisdom. What may we learn of such fruitful seeds of her best? An offspring of such magnanimous fulfillment, after all, God created the heavens and the earth, the water and the air, life - in just six days?

All of this as Nature respectfully listened.

How about the plant kingdom drawing forth life from the depths of the photosphere reverently allowing photosynthesis to graciously come about? Is it not true this provides us the necessary air supply our very human spirits demand to survive? And rise above dominating this fruitful and endearingly hospitable environment of fellow spirit life, that of which we love compassionately as she submissively returns the look of love within our own hearts and souls?
