what are the things that you like and admire in nature

Hi
Explanation:
I would say there are many things I like about nature, but what I also admire would be its determination, its strictness (or stoicism?), and its ingenuity. People generally think that we are conquering nature or that we hold its fate in the palm of our hands, but that is not really true. I believe that we think this way because we generally think of things as existing, or that they should exist, forever in the state that we knew them. For example, we may strip the land and/or pollute it and the water that flows through it, but the second we lay our tools down and rest, nature begins immediately to regenerate, repair, and reclaim what we have taken. There’s no crying or bitterness or even concern or a sense of loss, just a never ending, slow but sure push back (and occasionally very big, dramatic push back such as earthquakes, floods, fire, etc.) as soon as the opportunity arises. Now, the opportunity in some cases, may take many years to arrive, but nature is infinitely patient as if it is fully aware that it will win against humanity by simply outlasting us. We mow the grass and it pops right back up, and even a forest does the same thing, it just takes longer. Look at a building, a house, or a farm only a few weeks after people abandon the area, and you can see nature beginning to creep in and survey the area for possibilities. In many cases, after just a few years the place will already have begun to look and be wild. Animals and plants will have come back and wind, sun, water, fungi, and microbes will be well into their work of eroding, decomposing, and returning things to a natural state. Even the nuclear disaster town of Chernobyl apparently now (34 years later) has a thriving natural community that includes animals less commonly seen by humans these days in Europe, such as wolves.
Nature, even nature as we are familiar with it (I’m talking about plants, rocks, rivers, animals, etc. vs. things out in space), has been around much, much longer than we have, and there is more up her sleeve than we even imagine that she could hide there. At the end of the Mesozoic Era (when dinosaurs lived), Earth was hit by a giant rock that released a destructive energy equivalent to over 1 billion WWII era atomic bombs, and nature not only survived but was soon thriving again (and this was not even the biggest extinction disaster in earth’s past). In a relatively very short time geologically (a few million years), new forests and animals covered the earth again, and by the time we came around, relatively not much later, life was completely different and extremely diverse again. Until recently we had no idea that any of this had ever happened, and we still wouldn’t know it without advanced and sensitive modern technology to tell us that it occurred.
I’m not trying to make a case against conservation. I like the little part of earth I know and want to keep it that way, and I imagine many other people do as well; so, I don’t mean to say that we shouldn’t worry about the damage we do or forget about trying to conserve nature. We certainly have the capacity to do lots of unnecessary damage. I’m just stating that I admire and am awed by nature’s tenacity and ability to change, adapt, and thrive even in the face of extreme adversity, and that natural history would be pretty boring if everything had always been exactly the same. It’s just amazing to me to think that something like the dinosaurs (just one clade of animals) roamed and covered the earth for over a thousand times the length of time that modern humans have been around, during which time they witnessed mountains being born and torn down again, lands rise and sink, and seas appear and disappear. It was also crazy to think about all the diversity there is today and how much it has changed over the years. Every living thing has a unique history of its own that has probably taken many crazy turns through millions of years, and it’s just very interesting to me.
