True Nature

[Clay]

A fish cannot drown in water.

A bird does not fall in air.

Each creature God made must live in its own true nature.

That little poem from the Christian mystic, Mechthild of Magdeburg made me think if each must live according to its own nature, then what is man’s true nature?

[Dave]

Mans true nature is to exploit. In doing so we wreak destruction and damnation on Mother Nature and on each other.

BTW: The poem was very nice!
