We're paying attention as arts of living — practices — emerge in this season's conversations of On Being.

This week, with the founder of the field of biomimicry, questions for taking nature as mentor — because "we are surrounded by geniuses."
Next time you have a design decision with a creative or logistical task in your life, however minute, remember the core operating principle of vitality in the natural world: "creating conditions conducive to life."

And ask:

1) What would nature do here?
2) What wouldn’t nature do here?
3) Why or why not?
4) What do I need to learn more about, or get more curious about, to answer these questions with integrity?
