Cricle B

I know I’ve said that other field trips have been my favorite, in the past but I would have never knew that I would have experience that I had at Circle B. At first I thought that I would be getting a whole bunch of mosquitos’ bites, and stepping into hog crap. But I guess this trip took me by surprise I might sound like a geek when I say this but I think I was one with nature??!! I know that sounds crazy but I guess I actually understand what people mean when they say things like that. You could just call me the tree hugging geek LOL!! But all jokes aside I enjoyed seeing nature, the wildlife and the many lakes. There was a sense of tranquility and peace that I needed to experience, this semester has been so crazy and that visit at Circle B really help me to unwind the stress and pressure of class work and assignments, staring out to those lakes and trees help me to realize how beautiful God’s creation really is. What really brought me to Awe were the many colors and patterns that were on the birds and plants. It’s really crazy to image how God took His time to make every single color and detail on each bird and plant. If God took His time to make every living creature and vegetation so beautiful I believe we should do our best to take care of our environment, I used to think that mankind was God’s best art piece but as I began to take notice to my surroundings I see that we all make up this beautiful painting call creation, birds, plants, trees, lakes, and us humans too. We are all apart of Gods beautiful creation and need each other to survive. I’m so happy that I had that time to really stop and notice, sometimes you get so caught up with your own busy schedule you  kind of neglect the smaller things in life that really do matter. Sometimes we just need to stop and smell the roses LOL!!! This experience really brought out the reading by Hass. At first it was very difficult and frankly it is still difficult to understand but the experience did help bring some of the words in the poem to life. There was one line and storms that Corrigan read in the book while we were out there and becuase of the weather it felt as though we were all in the story because the imagery was so perfect for the poem. I really did enjoy the poem and the feild trip but I will say without that outing the poem would have been very hard to intellectually engage in.
