This articles puts nicely the necessity to see God like features around us, I feel the same with rivers and forests... They do things to us and others we cannot grasp... Rain is definitely a god for me.
Yes, rivers, forests, and rain all have that divine character.
Through another lens, they could all (especially the sum total of "rain"?) be considered what Timothy Morton calls "hyperobjects," physically existing things that are so large/complex/diffuse that the human mind can't fully conceptualize them. Strictly speaking, his definition requires hyperobjects to be "non-local," so forests, rivers might be edge cases?
