      Perhaps that only humans are able to perceive mother nature as a concept, and thus project humanity onto her.

        Well I’ve met lots of otherkin who can understand mother nature as a concept.

        I think she should be portrayed as a bee. Bees are the classic example of symbiosis, representing the harmony of nature’s systems. Their winter stockpiling behaviour also demonstrates the cycle of the seasons, and they’re rather unique in being the single least violent animal species. They don’t even hurt the plants they eat. Even herbivores treat plants with violence, but bees are in perfect harmony with their natural environment. They’re not violent by nature, but they’re capable of violence when driven to it, and also capable of cooperating with those inside and outside the species. Bees are the coolest animal and mother nature should be a bee.
