"Snail, tiny spiral in calcified membrane;
Inchworm, a hairpin dragon;
Bumblebee, blob of black velvet and yellow,
White butterfly, syncopated burst of gladness;
Naked bulbs, white pubic tentacles in crumbling soil;
Pears, children of earth and sun."
We are careening ever closer to the results of a dangerous misinterpretation of man's dominion over nature. Just as a manager must be part of the team, we--however we may be called to "subdue" it--are still a part of nature. It grows in, through and with us. Just like the animals and plants, we are creatures. Only when we recognize ourselves in humility before our Creator can we share fully in the vitality of nature.
