Lake Bonny Visit

I went to Lake Bonny Park for this assignment, and I stayed there for at least 50 minutes. It might have been a little more because I actually went there twice. It was pretty cool. Literally and figuratively. I went there towards the evening at like 5 to 6 and it was pretty cold outside. I love sitting out in the nature and just pondering upon whatever. It is so peaceful. And when I do this it's like I see God every time through nature. Hopefully you know what I mean by that. Especially when you see the stars and everything. It's awesome! So I was gonna write a poem, but I figured out that I'm not very good at writing and the only poetic line I could think of is, "the sun rained down onto the sparkling glass lake." I couldn't do much more than that sadly. Sitting down in one place for 20 minutes was very interesting. I had a squirl come up to me about three feet away. And I saw him jump up and wiggle his tail at the same time. Quite impressive. And I watched a bunch of ants take carry away food back to their home nest or whatever it's called. It made me think of Luke 12:24. It says, "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!" If you haven't already noticed, I have loved reading and learning about nature in class. And I loved the poems by Mary Oliver. They are really good and I can understand them! Just some of my favorite quotes from them are...

-"I know a lot of fancy words. I tear them from my heart and my tongue. Then I pray."
-She just got done relaxing in nature basically and she said, "Then I go back to town, to my own house, my own life, which has now become brighter and simpler."
-"Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness....It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.
-Talking about praying.."It doesn't have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don't try to make them elaborate, this isn't a contest but the doorway into thanks." So pretty much the whole poem!
