The Sayings - What Is Nature? (II)

The Sayings of Chen Jen

Number Sixty-One
What is Nature?
What is not?

But what of this human mind
that discriminates, divides
and would all the world subdue?

That cuts and burns
tears and rends
and brings but death to all?

Is this Nature gone awry?

Worry not!
For Nature self-corrects
and in the end naught but mulch
will humanity but be.
