Have you noticed how we have built our world to keep nature away from us? We put fences to keep wildlife away. I know it can be scary to see a lion or bear roaming about in your yard.But how many people actually take out time to attend mother nature’s endless free class? She speaks but her voice has been silenced. She has been screaming on top of her voice but a few can hear because most have been deafened by thinking she doesn’t add much to their lives.You never realize how loud nature is when you never pay attention to it. You never realize how much she bears just to sustain our livelihood on his earth. She offers a new song every morning through different songs directed by the birds’s choir. The natural aroma of those flowers is a total mood changer. Nature echoes so many lessons that can change lives in this crooked world.She offers free endless classes every second but very few sit down and listen to her. She produces great results in the form of her beauty but most of us take that beauty for granted. She goes on to teach what she is not paid for despite of our ignorance.She has a natural healing to everything that is soothing and anyone can easily get mesmerized in this if they only lend her an ear. She doesn’t speak to please the world but speaks to educate and build. She shares unfiltered stories as they happen but she is now pregnant with anger. Global warming is her nemesis. It’s destroying her ecosystem. Her wildlife is going extinct. She needs our help but unfortunately 911 can’t help.She cries copiously for our help because we are suffocating her! 
You might be thinking what lessons nature has taught you. Here are a few. Wildlife exudes pure compassion. Ever watched how an eagle will viciously protect its eggs, or even more scary a snake will lookout for its unborn babies? It’s the same compassion that we lack towards each other. Ever watched how birds are a signal to other animals that the king of the jungle is on its way to find its prey? This is so important because the birds alert the other animals and they find their hideout. Birds could have cared less and just not do anything but they are all connected. They are one! Nature has its own ecosystem / economy that is self sufficient and every animal seems to know how to play their role efficiently. It’s the same with us. What if we had compassion towards each other? What if we were each other’s keeper? What if we never judged someone by how they dress, their nationality or their accent? Don’t you all think this world would have been a better place?Human intelligence will never be a race with one track and one golden cup. It is differing as a natural meadow and works like an ecosystem where we all thrive because we understand and embrace our diversity. Some say l speak from a broken heart, yes its sad that nature speaks about this but we do not pay attention. She has set an example of what humanity is. What do you gain from lack of compassion? One lesson that caught my attention was that from ants. I went to my daily spot and like always l notice the most visible things in nature but for some reason on Wednesday l decided to focus on insects. I sat down and put soft music on and the first insects l saw were ants. It’s amazing how many lessons those small insects carry. They are team players because they work together. They are organized, look at how they build anthills! They are hard workers: you always see them up to something. These are some important lessons that most of us take for granted.
The beauty of everything in nature is beyond what a human mind can fathom. There is so much meaning to how every animal or plant behaves, Whoever thought an ant will be a professor for some core aspects of life! Pay attention to is not to go outside everyday and admire it but it comes downs to the actions we make everyday. To not cut trees unnecessarily. To water those lovely plants consistently. To not pluck out flowers without reason. To stop poaching. To abolish illegal fishing. We need every species to play its part in the ecosystem so we should stand together in doing this. There are so much lessons we need to preserve for our unrecognized professor. We need to protect her!
I like how you coined nature as a class and/or professor. It has been stuck in my mind for several days after reading.
“You never realize how loud nature is when you never pay attention to it”
I agree. We can be completely blind to nature, but once we really take time to pay attention, it’s hard not to keep yourself away. It’s like your brain rewires.
Ps1’s question about if humans have a special responsibility to nature makes me think about that cliche quote that goes something like “with great power comes great responsibility.” It seems like it has to be up to us to tame our power and our ability to cause destruction. And one of the ways, like you said, is to look at nature for teaching us about humanity. Passionately written post! Delightful read.
Miracle, there is a contagious passion in how you advocate for Mother Earth. I love how you think about her not only as a passive provider, but as an active teacher who is desperate to be heard. Your writing has brought Sir David Attenborough’s remarks to mind: “I think sometimes we need to take a step back and just remember we have no greater right to be here than any other animal.” As humans we navigate the world with such an entitlement to other living beings and minimize them to resources, we focus so much on the planet’s beauty and so little on its wellbeing and health, we understand ourselves as distinctly superior to other species. It’s interesting to critique that, though, because even as your examples point out, other species protect and care for each other in their own group – eagles don’t protect snakes, and snakes will eat rodents without thinking about it twice! Perhaps our inability to think of other beings paradoxically shows just how not special we are. I wonder if, due to our known self-awareness and ability to self-critique, there are special responsibilities humans have, and what that would say about the relationship between humans and other living beings.
