Personal Moments

I made my weekly post, but I wanted to write some more. Something was bothering me a little too...

I don't know if this has happened to you or not (it probably has but I'm just saying since not a lot of people talk about it), but do certain things in nature happen to you, and it's beautiful, and you realize it must've been meant for you? They have to me. Like last semester, I was waiting for the bus, and across from the bus stop is a field. It was fairly early in the morning, around 7:30, and a little bit foggy. I was minding my own business, trying to look like I had something to do while I waited for the bus, when I looked at the field and saw a deer walk out from the side-trees. It was amazing; I looked around to see if there was anyone else walking around me or there were cars slowing down to look at the deer, but no one was. I looked back at the field, and that's when I saw another deer walk onto the field from the trees! It was magical. I really wanted to tell someone, but texting didn't give it justice and no one was around me. So that memory is all mine. Another example would be today. I was on the bus, going to school, when the driver slowed down all of a sudden. I looked out the other window and I saw a coyote leaping over the highway median to get to the other side. It was nice to see other cars slowing down for it to cross too. Then coming back from school, I saw a hawk or an eagle perched on one of the lamp posts. I seriously don't think people observe as well as I do, or else I would have heard someone say something!
I'd also like to say that nature and technology are intermingling here. In one of my English classes, we've been on the topic of nature, how it affects art and how we live. In these instances I've described from my own life, it's inevitable. We share this world with other creatures too, there aren't just humans on this planet. And even though we cover the grass and dirt with cement and tear down trees to make room for metal buildings, nature and animals still make an appearance in our daily lives. Maybe not as often as you'd think, but it does happen. And when it does happen, cherish the moment. Because they're beautiful beings, surviving through the weirdest conditions, not knowing whether or not their home and their children will be able to live through the next day. I become sad, thinking about the possibilities, but that's life I suppose.

Love.
