Nature is messy.

Rocks strewn about, dead leaves piling up and broken branches hanging from trees.

Humans like to believe we can bring order to this chaos. We build fences, grow plants in straight lines and haul away the dead stuff.

It gives us a sense of satisfaction to feel some control over our world.

But this feeling is fleeting. Soon the earth starts to settle back into its comfortable chaotic state.

What we forget is that this jumble actually gives our senses more stimulation, experience and entertainment than any of our orderly attempts.

The world is messy – get out and revel in its glorious disarray.
