Salient post Jake. funnily enough I was pondering something similar yesterday whilst painting a customer's house. A bug flew onto the wet paint, this always upsets me, even though I know it is inevitable.
The issue for me is how as humans we have 'advanced' so quickly that nature hasn't been able to adapt to that 'advancement.'
I know the wise answer is always love-in-action, I hope we can all feel this and move in that direction, by adopting your practice of enjoying and revelling in the mystery and wonder of life. And maybe we will find a more harmonies way to exists as part of nature, rather than in labelling and controlling it as tohugh we are not at hte heart of it.
