-- Horatio Algeranon's versification of Sarah van Gelder
Nature works in cycles.
It doesn’t throw away,
What was left in past-times
Is used again today.
Nature is inter-relational
Competitive and cooperative,
Without one and the other
It would be nigh inoperative.
It would be nigh inoperative.
Nature gets its energy
Mostly from the sun
Living off of interest
Not a fossil fund.
Inspired by “To Change Our Direction, It’s Time to Follow Nature’s Lead” by Sarah van Gelder:
It takes humility to recognize that what we’ve called progress isn’t always for the better. Sometimes nature’s original idea was a better one.
