I've written lots of articles on how we should characterize nature. I agree that we can personify nature in negative as well as positive ways, and that either might be arbitrary and subjective. When I say that the wilderness is monstrous and inhuman, I mean that natural processes are mindless, impersonal, and zombie-like in their energized order. That characterization is scientifically supportable, and it's arguably what led to the modern meaning crisis.
I talk at length about Vervaeke's idea of cosmic harmony in the first article linked below. See also the second for another of my critiques of Vervaeke. And for support for my negative characterizations of nature, see the next few links.
