NATURE'S SYSTEMS

Ants do it better than we do.

According to E.O.Wilson, the founding voice of biomimicry, the biomass of ants is greater than the biomass of humans, yet ants manage to live on this planet and improve the quality of the soil, air, and water, while we degrade those systems.

We need to relearn the connectivity in nature's systems, and, in using the term "Nature's systems" I intend to include humans and all that we create.

We need to recognize the brilliance of millennia of experiences, and embrace nature's lessons. In seeking to apply the principles she has learned, we can live optimally, and without experiential limits, within the systems that exist.

WE ARE STEWARDS

From any of the many Spiderman movies, we know that "With great power comes great responsibility". In celebrating our value, we need to recognize our effect on the greater community and world around us. Each project, choice, goal, can be even more exceptional if those connections are understood, and mutually served in the process.
