Upon Seeing a Tree on a New York Street Corner

An artist will try to capture its shape and copy it in his brain.
A naturalist will examine the birds, insects and fungi that symbiotically live with it.
A scholar of evolution will collect its DNA and find its place on the genealogical tree.
A mathematician will attempt to solve the algorithm of the division of branches versus leaves and write down the formula.
A clergyman will look to see God's design and grace in the tree.
A shaman will try to feel the tree's vibrations and will see their correspondence with the universe.
A pharmacologist will wrok to extract the antibacterial chemicals from the tree.
An ecologist will measure the tree's nitrogen and carbon dioxide fixation capacity.

Rather than thinking about all these things, I simply gaze at the tree in admiration.

that last sentence gave a tug on my heart.
we can do many things in life, but do we actually just stand aside and admire the true beauty of it all? the simplicity of beauty. the simplicity of life and life itself.

BUT! contrary to what i just said. a tree itself can provide so much information to diff fields. the creation of God. did he plan it all? or did he simply create nature and its beauty, and let it all happen naturally accidentally, to mutate by itself to suite its environment?
