A third journal of personal musings |
Prompt: “Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more that what we could learn from books.” John Lubbock Of the natural features, what is your favorite type? Oceans, mountains, etc. I love the outdoors. I love trees, so the woods are my favorite. I also love lakes. Lake Ontario, Onondaga Lake, the Finger Lakes, Lake Neatahwanta, Oneida Lake are all lakes that are close to where I used to live in New York. All within an hour of where I used to live. There is something immensely peaceful about both of those things. Unfortunately, I don't have lakes here in Indiana (though if we lived on the very northwestern corner (nearly Chicago) of the state, there is Lake Michigan). Thankfully though, where we've moved to, there are a lot more trees, there's bugs, it feels like nature outside of my house. Even though I live in a neighborhood. But I love seeing butterflies, dragonflies, skimmers, bees, spiders, bugs. I see rabbits, raccoons, pigeons, hawks, ducks, squirrels, chipmunks, and an array of birds. For living in a suburb outside of a major city (capital of the state even!), it brings happiness to my heart and soul. The southside of the city where we've lived since I moved here, is mostly a concrete jungle. One that formed in the 80s and 90s and feels it. So where we are now, just having the trees gives me a peace I haven't felt in a very long time. |
