Nature is not the visible tree, its bark, its branches, its needles. Nature is not the beauty of the tree or the scent of the tree. Nature is not the wind that moves through the needles of the tree. Nature is the force of the tree. Nature is the wind beneath the wind.
Nature is the invisible valuation that creates and governs visible nature.
Our science, which does not study values, cannot know nature. Science and technology are one. Technology can profitably build houses, microscopes and telescopes, but it cannot build towers to reach god. It cannot answer our most precious questions. Yet towers we build.
