Nature

These collections of cells that surround us contain so much beauty. Every tree, every leaf, every blade of grass filled with green. They breath life into us in quite a literal way. We often walk by without even thinking about it. They are living, breathing beings. Nature covers the earth and it is alive. And it isn't only limited to plants. All of the animals hopping about in the forest are part of nature. What is nature? Is it merely the collection of sounds that we have chosen to mean a collection of life? If so, then are cities a part of nature? Where is the linme between nature and not nature? Isn't everything a part of some larger definition? Or are all of the atoms spread to far apart? How do we fit into the world? Or are we simply ice cubes floating in an ocean, unimportant and soon to disappear. What is the full extent of nature? We need to take care of it, in any case, that much is obvious. But for now, here is something to consider.

It was estimated in 2015 that 1.6 million people live in "inadequate shelter" worldwide. 

Sincerely, Liktomph
