Within nature, function is always expressed as beauty.
–––
The two are inseparable and being utilitarian is anathema to Gaia.
This moth rests secure in its camouflage and becomes one with the warm grey rock.
The joyous symmetries and spirals delight our senses as much as confounding the eye of the hunter.
The appreciation and creation of beauty is surely the true niche of our Sapient kind.
