Appreciation of nature is a supreme intelligence because when scientists become mechanical, that is when they cease to be scientists. This reminder was provided by Richard Feynman and just 6 minutes with him rightsize any notion that science is something different from nature. Nature of Nature - Richard Feynman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ebPaz6XGdA Your poem is artistic metaphor the only thing that it misses is your photographic title premise about buried and planted. Instead a plant manifests itself in the opposite manner of a human being, so when we look at a plant we see its legs in the air and it is its head which is buried in the soil. When we think of plants in a human context we do need science above art to appreciate that plants are not human, nor is nature human, for humans are a blip on the flow of nature - and when we see that the plant eats in the soil and we eat in the air - that is the greatest appreciation of all, because it tells us our reality is not the only or valid reality and that life exists in other forms beyond us and these are forms when human beings are extinct - so we appreciate that everything that comes into being must transform back into non-being - and if our poetry, our music or our art does not make us realize that, we are stuck being temporal, rather than an energy put together by the workings of the universe, of which nature is its representation on Earth. Our science is moving into a time when we now have the ability to fiddle with the code that nature has provided to us. Perhaps that is a foolishness, but it is not outside the realm of reason that we do what our nature is. So we are nature but nature is not us - and we are driven by consciousness but nature is well beyond our human efforts to own it, to become the master of it. Synthetic Biology is simply a tinkering at the foundational layers of nature, but human beings are at least wise enough to that through bio-mimicry, we can engineer according to the limitless strengths of nature, rather than the finite strengths of our mechanical tinkering. If our nature is not in accord with nature, nature does not win or lose, only we lose, it was here before us, it will be here after us. So nature does not have victories that reduces nature to the size of man. Our art is man's victory because it allows us one more language to peer at the never-ending mysteries of nature, and to keep moving to the never ending horizon of nature. This brings us to the first line of your poem, nature the greatest teacher, because it is we who learn from it and that first line is important because it is a great arrogance if we, this being temporal being called man, should give person-hood to nature. We have given person-hood to corporations and in that human definition we tend to lose our humanity - in nature we find it. [CityVP Manjit - 21 Jan 2016 - Nature & Value]

Very beautifully put, Debasish Majumder. We are not only part of nature, we are one with nature - complete non-duality. This is the crux of your expression.

wow. Really nice lines used to our Life - Nature and a great tribute to Dr. Ali Anani, PhD. Debasish Majumder. You are doing it very beautifully. I remember the day we connected and today I am seeing new faces of your thoughts and imaginations. Great to know you and learn from you. Thanks for being kind and supportive.
