When it's over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When it's over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up simply having visited this world. -- Mary Oliver
Nature ...
You plan to do nature with your one wild and precious life?
I am not simply visiting this world – I am not planing to do nature... I am Nature ...
By definition everyone is nature.
Do you see a lot of that definition?
Given your above:
You plan to do nature with your one wild and precious life?
and
By definition everyone is nature.
So were you asking if I "plan to do everyone?" Meh, seemed a reasonable ambition for a certain wild age, not too long ago...
...but I'm married now and with a baby daughter: it's a life less wild, but certainly more precious...
Ha! You can do anything but you cannot do everything.
