Hand
of God: Mastery
It
is tangled there, like an unruly head of marvelous hair.
Eastern forests, Midwestern prairies, Southern swamps,
and Gulf coastal plains are the predominant strands. Individual
trees and shrubs let their hair down into ponds that drink
an average of 55.4 inches a year.
Wildlife
is most active at night, prowling and foraging while human
heads are pillowed. Humans claim that “you’ll
find every critter in there from crickets to elephants,”
but what do humans really know? Other animals conserve
their mysterious goings-on, mimicking the grander mystery
of Mother Nature in toto.
