Dogs speak about Nature with a reverence and awe that might seem to some as a worship of it, as a God of sorts.  Dogs don't have the mental agility or intellectual flexibility to devise a God that can be captured  in a book, or who could limit his interests to one people or culture, or one breed of dogs for that matter.  We haven't found all of the answers, so we still wonder a lot. Nature provokes in us  questions that demand answers, a search for truths that need to be found.   Reverence and wonder are a celebration of those mysteries in a way.  Wonder always looks for the next question, when any answer is provided.  All knowledge is theoretical, and must withstand the test of repeated experiment in order to approach the status of a fact.  Reverence for Nature acknowledges its power and ultimate unpredictability.  Even as elaborate theories are proposed, uncertainty and randomness ground the observer in humility in his assumption that he might have discovered a potential fact.  

     There's no room for arguments from authority in the dog world, but the canine mind is open to revelation; seeing it as part of the natural interplay between subject and object.  Dogs approach Nature, that spiritual and material place that we inhabit, and which we are an integral part; as the ultimate source of mystery.  On our best days we take it all in with a humble gratitude; and seek to make any possible observer proud of the creature that it has produced, and of the role that we play in it, as part of its mystery.
