The video about permaculture showed how many systems in our natural environment exist to check and balance themselves. Whether it was the mushrooms feeding on oil trapped in the ground, or certain plants drawing a toxic level of heavy metals out of the dirt, there seems to be a plant or organism for any occasion. The world has had millions of years to develop a certain harmony with all of its inhabitants and we humans are better off learning from it than forging our own reckless path. It makes no sense to continue to use archaic farming methods when the world provides a way to yield more to harvest as well as keeping the soil healthy and rich. Without these methods, the world would have been a barren wasteland before we came along, so we should learn from what's around us.
The video showing the reflections and symmetry of the tiniest flowers and leaves to the stars and even our own blood vessels was also really amazing. Seeing that kind of silent poetry in all facets of nature is an inexplicable, heartwarming feeling, which gives credence to our natural world being good for the soul.
