When using the noun nature, you're usually talking about forests, the outback, the mountains. What makes them natural in a positive sense? Have you ever stood at the base of a mountain and looked up? Have you ever climbed one? Mountains are where the planet is wrinkled, where the surface has been violently and sometimes quickly deformed on a scale we have difficulty imagining. It's the manifestation of the planetary forces working on the planetary material, the evidence that this is a dynamic planet.
Oh yeah, mountains are very natural, in the good way.
