Naturaleza y vida / Nature and life

Summer has not yet invaded, but it already covers nature with its presence; the ochre colors are emerging with their implacable imprint on the bark; the cicadas are becoming silent, devoured by their imperturbable destiny; the trunks acquire faces of nostalgic figures; putting the eye in the midst of this environment is useful for the discovery that means rediscovering nature; It serves to observe the links of time, its heavy chain of continuity and mystery; it is a reflection invited by the dry leaf or the mushroom or even the wire rope that also gives way with the passing of life because even though its creation does not come from God, but from man, it is part of the cosmos and by being there it sustains, pushes, stops, helps, hurts, saves; to make life in an ecosystem is a miracle of which sometimes we are not as conscious as we think, to think that the whole environment is there to be used without contributing to it, without enjoying it, without inheriting it (using an old expression of the old Socrates); this philosopher believed that time had to be inherited; "Inherit your time", that is, the air, the water, the trees, your environment because the most valued thing is not life, but the good life, that is, for him it was not worth more the time lived or existed, but the time that has been lived well; and you can not live well destroying what gives you happiness. Happy New Year to all!
