I’m watching some of the winds and water rushing onto the Florida coasts. My amazed eyes see the forces of nature reclaiming dominance over a land that people have been trying to alter for decades. Humans have done surgery on an ecosystem that would not willingly support the lifestyle that has been imposed on it. Now the winds and water are changing some of that.
There are many places that forests and fields have reclaimed land abandoned or neglected by humans. Many human civilizations have been buried under the advance of sands and trees. Nature has patiently reclaimed even those places spoiled by humans. Time is on the side of nature.
Insects evolve to reclaim their interest in eating plants grown by humans. The poisons invented and used by humans have only for a brief time been able to block the advance of forces of nature interested in consuming food. For humans working against nature, it is a losing battle.
So many humans have believed in the myth of “taming nature.” Nature can be cooperative, but will not be controlled. Nature is unyielding, uncompromising, untamed by whatever humans concoct. We will eventually be subdued by nature and yield to the forces of which we are a part.
Our efforts to resist or go against nature will fail. Nature will eventually reclaim dominance. It always has. It is in our own best interest to cooperate. The time is now to blend our consciousness with that of nature.
