From Nature • • • “The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature.” •—Ralph Waldo Emerson Through our lives From our first breath to our last We learn from nature. She shows us beauty: The trees and the flowers. She shows us Life: From the smallest of creatures To the mightiest oak. This is Biology; A study of Life through nature. She shows us the vastness of a summer sky Stretching from here to beyond Dotted with clouds And floating over a rolling sea. This is Physics; Energy and matter combining to form Sea, clouds, and sky. She gives us trees for building, Food for nourishment, Beauty to enjoy, And Life to live. She shows us our oneness: How each living thing, Regardless of how great or small, Fulfills his part of nature’s plan; All combining to form One nature, one world, one universe. This is Mathematics: Many forming one, All things dying and being reborn, Changing and evolving. All this is a part of nature. Nature is Life. wimmm »; » •• »{ ■-.v, mb p:S::p: I wirW mm Mr. Wood and Mac Campbell demonstrate some of the gaseous laws of the universe.
