The profound symmetry and unacknowledged beauty of the natural world does not begin or end at some intangible boundary of human difference. Even our messy cities and the aggregate technological fracture, rupture and overtly discontinuous contemporary lives we lead exist on a direct spectrum in, from and as a broader “natural” world.
It may just be that the difference we assert between our world and nature – as a matter of ignorance, pride or some as yet unidentified, yet foundational psychological flaw – is the only actual difference that exists. It is counter-intuitively because of our celebration of difference as a source of identity and value that most evil and darkness proliferates in this world.
