Hymn of Nature

My name is Nature: I am “The Nature.”

I am unknown by many, and known by a few.

I am natural, not supernatural; just natural,

without dualism matter-spirit,

only One Being which is All.

Some people call me God,

and truly, because I AM:

I have always been, and I will always be.

My essence is “To Be.” I must be.

My very existence is infinite and has no limits:

How can there be anything that I am not?

There is no infinite plus something.

There cannot be anything that I am not.

Nothing could be added to me,

because my existence is infinite.

I am all that is: The-Total-Existence.

I exist by myself: I own the existence.

My existence is necessary and eternal.

I exist in cycles,

from the smallest micros of particles

to the largest macros of the universes, and beyond;

always in cycles.

Everybody can observe me, “touch” me,

because I am everywhere, in everything.

My existence has no limitation of time or space.

Everything is done in me, by me, and through me.

Nothing has been created “ex nihilo” but proceeds from me. (1)

I am the source of all.

Metaphysical entitles—if they would be—

and meta-physical principles,

all they are entrenched in me. (2)

The laws and principles of the universe,

all phenomena and processes of the physical world,

even life and intelligence,

we all are one: Nature, Myself.

I am firmly entrenched in the universe. (3)

I am continuously expanding.

Everything is “inside” me,

and there is nothing “outside” me.

I am in an infinite symmetry,

an infinite balance and complexity.

Beings and processes of the universe

are expressions and manifestations of my being.

I am always in action.

I am action, evolution, transformation.

Everything physical is in process of change,

but my essence does not change: I-Always-AM.

The elders, in their imagination, called me “God-Father.”

The youngsters, guided by science, observation and logic,

call me “Mother Nature.”

I am more than a gender change.

You do not have to ask me anything;

if you do, it would be senseless:

I always give what I give.

I cannot talk about the supernatural;

Any ontologically supernatural would be beyond my reach.

I cannot deny its possibility,

but I cannot prove its existence: there is no evidence.

I AM!
