I think there is more than one 'Nature' to learn from. I am a Bible-head, so I can study the nature created in the Torah. I can learn from the experience of people who went before me with their successes and mistakes. I can also learn from History, from modern music, from people I know. All of this is spiritual learning. There are some things in the natural world to learn from like watching the ocean, but most of the lessons of nature seem to be that I am very tiny and fortunate and can die at any moment.
