Car and tree
What a strange relationship we have now settled into with the natural world from which we arose. Almost, but not quite, denying our origins as if we no longer know what to make of it. Cutting ourselves off from it and so often reducing it to mere tokens in our lives. Kept manicured and contained living things are too messy for our organised lives.
This unnoticed tree is the foundation of all life. Rooted to one spot, growing in intimate response to the movements of the sun and moon and the cycles of the winds and rain. Its extraordinary form feathering into the sky and producing the oxygen we breathe.
No two are ever the same yet in each their living structure grows following the same ordering geometries that run through all things from microbes to galaxies. The living structure grows in bewildering complexity so that each leaf can be held precisely in an exact position in space to receive the maximum possible light.
The manufactures of our industries for all their sophistication appear mere trinkets when set against the generating order of the natural world.
Perhaps more often we should pause and observe.
