Nature naturing
Nature “naturing”
(Natura naturans, in Scholasticism) God. Nature “natured” (Natura naturata) is the complexus of all created things. Sometimes nature is used for the essence of a thing or for natural causes, and in this sense it is said nature does nothing in vain, for the generation and birth of living beings, for substantial form, and for the effective or passive principle of motion and rest. — H.G.
