As I contemplate the Beauty of Nature
I find Reserves of Strength that will endure
As long as Life lasts...
There is something infinitely healing
In the repeated refrain of Nature-
The Assurance that Dawn comes after Night; And Spring after Winter.
Where Flowers bloom,
So does Hope.

In Nature, nothing is Perfect;
Yet so Perfect.
Trees can be Contorted, bent in weird ways
And they are still Beautiful.
In a World of constant change and Streaming Technology;
Nature does not Hurry,
Yet everything is Accomplished.

Nature is the Art in itself.
Every Species is a Masterpiece,
Exquisitely adapted to a particular Environment, in which it has Survived.
Who are We to Destroy or even diminish Biodiversity.
It's the air We breathe and the Atmosphere
That makes Earth livable-
And it's under Threat from Humanity.

Trees are a Poem, the Earth writes across The sky. Humanity cuts them down for Paper.
We are living on this Planet, as if
We had another one to go.
This Planet is our one and only Home.
We have no choice, but care for it.
How is it possible that the most
Intellectual creature to ever walk on the Planet, is destroying it's only Home??

Nature is full of Genius, full of Diversity;
Everything is Balanced.
Even if the Bee disappeared from the Surface of the Globe, then Man would Only have Four Years of Life left.
No more Bees, No more Pollination,
No more Plants, No more Animals,
No more MAN.

Only after the last Tree has been cut down;
Only after the last River has been Poisoned;
Only after the last Fish has been caught;
Only then will We find that
Money cannot be eaten.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors;
We borrow it from our Children.

Nature is Human's Greatest Teacher.
She unfolds her treasures to his Search;
Unseals his eyes, Illuminates his mind
And Purifies his Heart;
An Influence breathes from all the
Sights and Sounds of her existence.
Adopt the Peace of Nature;
Her secret is Patience.
