Lake Bonny Park


My trip to Lake Bonny Park was very nice. The day was very windy and it was overcast throughout the whole time I was there, however I still enjoyed myself. I went there by myself so I didn’t have anyone to distract me from interaction with nature. I started this moment with nature by walking around the park and looking for anything out of the ordinary, so for the first 15 to 20 minutes I pretty much just observe everything, while also being very aware of my surrounding and watching out for snakes and gators. While observing I saw a few different types of butterflies, some were yellow some were blue and some were other colors, they were very pretty, I tried taking some pictures from my phone, but they were too fast so I couldn’t get a focus on them.
Throughout the time I was at the park, I took a few different pictures of things I thought that was interesting, some turned out pretty good and some didn’t really turn out that great. I took about 20 minutes just to meditate on some of the things that is going on in my life, I mostly thought about my plans for after I graduate in the spring and I thought about some of my relationships and what I can do to make them better. I also took time to write a poem, I would post it on this blog, but it’s not that good.
The whole time I was there I was pretty much by myself so it gave me time to do some of things that I wanted to do. It’s been a long time since I had a long conversation with God, so I felt like that was my opportunity so I took about 10 to 15 minutes just to pray to God and just thank him for all that he has brought me through this year, I also took time to listen to what God had to say. This trip to Lake Bonny Park was really nice; I got the opportunity to connect with nature on a complete different level, while taking time to have a really good conversation with God.

  1. That's cool that being alone in nature helps to bring that connection.
