beauty? nature is always beautiful, always new, creative and way stronger than we can imagine. for someone who’s able to sense nature - its beauty has more or less universal validity. landscapes in west-tibet for example - these successions of pastel-shaded mountain ranges - are matchless in their harmony. of course also the ‘arts’ create something that we call beauty. this means we have the ability to transform nature into ‘culture’.

as i do respect nature for its variety and creativity, i also respect the human being, who gained experiences throughout thousands of years. birds are able to fly since a long time - humans just since fifty years. but we learned to fly and probably in another fifty or one hundred years - we will be able to fly without causing massive pollution to the atmosphere. these are our tasks, and our scientists draw their perceptions and insights from observations of nature, instead of extracting them exclusively from abstract calculations.

while the sensory of our mind is limited, i would definitely ascribe a divine dimension to nature. caused by our sensoric limitations we should beware of attempting to project form or expression to what is not accessible for us - what others imagine as god, the divine, the other side or the beyond. in the genetic structure we might have discovered the basic functions of a human being. we figured out - more or less - how gravity, the stars and the universe ‘work’ - but we’re just reaching out for the first horizon. beyond that an infinite number of ‘horizons’ stretches out into whatever, and this ‘beyond’, which is not accessible for us - that’s what i respect as divine dimension. although we humans are deficient beings - we are a part of nature. our equipment is comparably not ingenious. we aren’t especially fast. we react slower than most animals. we only have our mind to develop technologies and implement them in our daily life to somehow cope with this world.

my life is based on searching for challenges and translating them into action. whenever i expose myself on the edge of my possibilities - in awareness of the deficiencies of human nature - i can come to learn and experience a bit more.
