Nature has taught me that true beauty lies not in a single animal or plant but in the ecosystem as a whole - the blend, the variety, the competition, the harmony.

Absolutely beautiful post. I have learned most about the changing of the seasons and how much of life is cyclical. There are so many metaphors in nature, almost like the blueprint for life is found in the patterns in nature.

So true, Ashley .... the blueprint for life! And all those patterns and metaphors.

I like this lesson from nature: Appreciate and flourish in whatever is in the moment. Nature doesn’t always seem to be living in the past or future. It’s always in the now.

You mean today ? Or this week? Lol. Nature teaches everything tbh. Today it reminded me that magic is real and watching loons makes me feel like a kid wondering just where and when something wonderful will finally arrive.

Yes! And loons, Very rarely! So I totally revel in it when I do.
