Book of Nature

Nature is structured like an entire symphony of music, harmony and counterpoint, depth and multiple simultaneous variations. This communication is not limited to what we typically consider living things. The earth sings, and the animals perceive this and incorporate it into their own communication. The elements shaped our DNA. The birds sing with the sky, the whales sing with the sea, and between them they share a song of the stars, solar flares and tidal flux. These speak here on earth also. There is no incoherence with any of this communication. It’s not accidental.

The ultimate purpose for this messaging system is to facilitate further symbiogenesis. Organisms evolve by adapting to live with each other and cooperate for their mutual prosperity. The signals serve as the ambassadors across the organism border.

“Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.” George Washington Carver (Chemist and Educator, 1864-1943)

“A man is related to all nature.” Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)
