The Scale
of Nature
Though it is a common sentiment that we are all,
at a very basic level, a part of the natural world which surrounds us, it is
increasingly uncommon for individuals to connect or identify with nature. As
such, it is easy to miss the simple beauty of the world around us, especially
the minutia which are so ingrained in the condition of life that they become
neglected and forgotten. The extraordinary abilities of animals to breathe in
water, or fly; the power of the wind, an invisible force, the changing of
seasons, or even just how diverse the children of nature are: these simple
things are incredible, to the point of being inexplicable by any who do not
study these things. And yet, they are ignored, neglected, expected, because of
our indifference, they become ephemeral.
