Forget brushing up on politics, if you want to make a hit at a cocktail party these days, you need to get with the yogi program. By "cocktail party," I mean an early-evening gathering of slender, well-muscled women.

Back to bascis.
if there is a plan its natures
remember Darwin all will work it self out
as for weather -storms their our inconvenience and nature working on the plan it has for its world
Nature is unbounded in it's benefits. (including us) Nature also wears a terrible face at times. Just look at the damage from the Tsunami of a few years back. Or the awsome power or the eruption at Mt. St. Helens. (a force of about 500 atom bombs) Just look at the atrocities we "men," create and perpetuate. Nature is duality, the attraction of opposites.
But I agree that it can also be very healing, and enlightening.
As the saying goes, "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature, and I fear that's we have been trying to do for far too long now. And the results are obvious...increased violence, especially among our young folks, Wars, famines, earthquakes, unbounded diseases, starvation......etc. We are not doing our part of Nature's plan.
