Nature

Nature has got best of everything. She can always inspire us to be better. If you have insight, nature will turn out to be the best in everything. I have seen fractals generated by computer algorithms. Some of them resemble natural patterns. This tempts me to think that nature has done all the calculations to churn out those beautiful patterns. This thought can be a bit tricky. May be nature has done none! The beauty is natural. We are the ones thinking of it as an algorithmic calculation. I remember the saying ‘Beauty lies in the eyes of observer’.
I am exhilarated to learn that as a river flows, it cleans itself. Stagnation leads to rotting. If I think of the circulatory system of our body as a river basin, stagnation of river is analogous to clotting of blood veins. While you may be, marveling at the symmetry of nature. Nature will step out and show you asymmetry. As If she is telling “I am not only good at symmetry. I know asymmetry as well.” I wish to yell, ”You know better”.
The study of food chains and food webs can be: All too interesting. How well managed and balanced nature is! Tigers do not kill unless they are hungry. What a discipline! When the fresh water of river flows into oceans, the ocean is saline. Nature preserves the water with its salt. The same salt: We use it to preserve our food stuff or extend its lifetime. Feels like our soul. Originates in the mountains. Flowing in the river. Transverses various terrains. And finally nature is waiting patiently. To preserve it. Along the way it irrigates the green fields. Lush forests. Now our mighty sun is hovering over the horizon. It evaporates the ocean. And we have cycle of life and death. The water that reaches the depth of ocean. Will hardly ever evaporate(not unless the ocean runs dry). Like the ocean bed is inhabited by the souls that attained salvation. Free from cycle of life and death.
Mechanics of nature. How did a thick and heavily branched tree knew that to attain mechanical equilibrium, it should branch out its roots well into the soil. Hold onto the soil tightly to gather support for its branches. When wind blows, the swaying of the branches in a way resembles romance. It seems as if the wind is trying to woo the trees. The tree is laughing and dancing. Naughtiness of wind. Listen to the leaves. As the wind soars, the leaves roar. Nature is beautiful. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”.
You may wonder how come a pioneer of engineering designs a master piece. You will find logic hidden in each of the intricate components. You know whom I am talking about. The person naturally gifted. Somehow he knows what others will never think of. Truly natural. You will be stunned if you deciphered his logic.
Development in science has enabled us to comprehend nature better. This fantastic tool has lead to development of very vast and seemingly endless body of knowledge. Love you nature!
