12.May.2009.
I’ve been writing in a journal lately. Alright, actually, I’ve been slacking the last few days… but still, I’m not required to do it on the daily, so there. I had a thought that I wrote about in my journal that I wanted to share. See, I was sitting in my car, watching the gray clouds pass overhead with the trees bending over about 45 degrees in the wind and watching the raging, full spring river go by. And the weather changed from sunlight to hail and back in 30 minutes. And I thought about how Nature will outlive us all. If the human species were to die out, the earth were to experience some catastrophic event that wiped out all life, Nature would still rebuild itself eventually. It may not look the same or behave the same, but it’s Nature and it will always prevail. Our species could die out, but the majority of this planet could live on. I think that makes our existence seem extremely fragile.
The human species could be annihilated and Nature will live on… forever…
Feel insignificant and fragile? Doesn’t it make life feel beautiful somehow?
I think so.
