poetry is not my thing, so bare with me:
The dry air, the hot sun,
I look around, and all I see is green
The color brown is strong, due to the lack of rain
the feel of “vacation spot Florida” disappears.
No palm trees, no beach, no Disney world signs
Plant like and animals dominate the fields
Looking at the lilies of the field
The flowers that grow
Everything constantly growing
Everything in its entirety,
On time and on schedule to when something blooms,
Grows, hatches, births,
Why do I still doubt Him?
How can I still doubt Him?
Is something not clear enough?
Or do I just ignore Him
Trees, grass, squirrels, alligators, the blue sky.
Everything is right in front to me
I look at my reflection in the pond
He is right in front of me
I went to Circle B bar reserve and stayed for at least 45 min. When I went to circle B bar nature reserve. I wanted to go to the place that was recommended because I actually do like sitting outdoors in silence. It’s a good time for me to pray, think and just have simple conversation with God. I wanted to go in the evening at sunset but I was running around too much so I had to go during the day, alone. I was definitely hot. When I got there, I saw a mom and her kids walk in one direction. I was going to walk behind them but I saw another path looked a lot shadier with all the trees hovering over it. As I walked on the path, I just listened, and prayed some. I was kind of disappointed because I hadn’t seen any significant body of water yet. I wanted to see some kind of lake that I could use my fifteen minutes of stillness at. I eventually turned around and started to walk in the direction that the sun was beating down. Before I headed down the path I saw a warning sign that gators live in the swamps. I started walking and the first thing I see is a swamp. No thank you. I turned around and chose another path to go. When I just sat for fifteen minutes, I took the time to listen and to the birds and insects. There were even these two squirrels chasing each other up and down a tree. It was kind of funny because these squirrels were actually normal size, compared to the obese squirrels that live on campus. It was definitely very peaceful. It was nice to get away from school for a little bit and just be in a quiet place. Although, it made me miss home a little bit. In Maryland, there’s a place called Sugarloaf Mountain. It has an elevation of about 1300 feet. Once you get to the top, the view is amazing. So I have to say that this nature experience was nothing compared to what I have seen before, but I still enjoyed it. One thing that I was reminded of was end of Matthew 6. Which is in my poem J
