@dancingtongue I feel a kind of sadness - much improved from the agonising grief of a few years ago. I was profoundly attached to the natural beauty of our area. In recent years, native plants from far north Queensland have started propagating around here like weeds, brought in the poop of fruit bats. One of the weeds, Devil's Fig, is covered in thorns like a torture device. Some of new trees are quite beautiful. I've realised that this is a sign that our subtropical zone is becoming more tropical. Our mangos rarely survived the early spring storms, but now with the winter dry (usually) lasting longer and the summers getter wetter, the mangos are proliferating.
Maybe this is a part of how nature might adapt - at least to some extent. Though the evidence of increasing extinctions of species is telling a different story.
I've learned to accept that what we're experiencing, even though man-made, is just a part of the vast story of extinctions and evolution.
From the universe's "point of view" we are all just a blink in time.
