What has 6 legs, a rainbow of colours, smells like moss and sings like a bird?

Nature, my friend, Nature: in all its sensory-feeding, mood-boosting, poetry-inspiring, rejuvenating beauty! And nature is all around us, all the time - everywhere - even inside your home or the middle of the city. It’s omnipresent and free to all - like God himself.

Romans 1:20 says that Creation - which is nature - reveals the essence of God. Personally, I can’t imagine a more restorative place to be than in the presence of God. It’s no wonder so many people choose nature as their place to recentre, reboot and refresh - it’s an unavoidable touchpoint with God.

In this episode The Puzzlers invite you to dive into the refreshing waters of nature, and explore the many ways it can rejuvenate us - body, mind and spirit.

1) According to St. Thomas Aquinas, God created the diversity of creatures because no single creature can adequately reflect the perfection of God:

“We must say that the distinction and multitude of things come from the intention of the first agent, who is God.

For He brought things into being in order that His goodness might be communicated to creatures, and be represented by them; and because His goodness could not be adequately represented by one creature alone, He produced many and diverse creatures, that what was wanting to one in the representation of the divine goodness might be supplied by another.”
