Nature's Limitations

The true puzzle of existence is that
human life throbs with the passion of
being. Nature has designed us, just as
all else that exists in the great Universe
answers to her inexplicable blueprint.
That Nature itself exists is beyond mere
postulation, that we ourselves exist we
exhibit in our generations. Nature is a
builder, a designer, an engineer, a clever
and manipulative force uniquely capable 
of bringing all that is into being. As an 
all-powerful force of original existence 
there is this about Nature; her focus on
producing life where none was, despite
a seeming lack of interest its preservation.
We are devised and then left to our very
own devices. Nature is non-committal
in that existential sense and though we
claim Nature to be indifferent, is she?
Surely more to the point the ultimate 
power invested in Nature is yet without
awareness, much less self-awareness for
this is the attribute she has invested in her
creatures. Those she endows with the
cardinal existential motivation of survival.
We indulge in introspection; she cannot.
