Doin' What comes Naturally.

I note that the last couple of posts have included stuff about 'the long now', and the merit of keeping the long view in mind. I now add a complementary notion - taking guidance from Nature.

As I would have 4500 Aspdin Rd. considered a physical safe haven of sorts, a reliance of the ways of Nature is a conceptual or mental refuse,  (of course not in the sense of garbage). Who of my readers would deem to challenge the Wisdom of Nature, and should not our conduct be wise?

Not that it's an easy matter to know what Nature would do in a given circumstance. There are so many complexifiers at work. But having an appreciation of some of the key tenets of Nature's ways, especially at biological levels can give one a big step up.

And if one can find a parallel situation in the encyclopaedia of Nature then one can enjoy some comfort that the path is defensible, if not downright appropriate. That said, we should be ever mindful that Nature is not some static ideal. Rather it is in motion, or at least seems that way. And in a forward time direction. With some of the grand Code being more fully revealed, and confirmed or validated by scientists the world around on a daily basis.
