Jessica Buhler ~Class at the Lion’s Gate Bridge

I have to admit I was a bit freaked out about having to go to the bridge, because I had a class to get to immediately after, of which I ended up arriving late to anyway, but it end up being an interesting adventure into the wilderness. Walking along the trial I noticed a lot of things of things that I had not ran into in a while. Like the smell of honey sickles in the distance...It made me remember my childhood and how I use to sit for hours suck the sweetness out of eat flower. As I continued to walk along I noticed a rather large black ant crawling up a tree and it made me think of how does a little ant like that view the world. I mean it seems like that are as fast as we are yet so tiny it seem impossible. If it was to fall of the tree I know it would hit the ground and keep moving…but it is was a human they could be seriously hurt. While my eyes followed the little ant up the tree I noticed the breeze and how the tree swung lightly from side to side. It was beautiful and calming it made me feel at ease to be able to stand there for a minute and really focus on nothing else but the wilderness around me. I could hear and see birds chirping and see turtles resting. There life just seemed so carefree. I know they have to find food everyday and could be food at any given moment of the day, but it was still intriguing to watch the turtles and the birds seeming so peaceful and at ease with their surroundings. It really made me want to spend all day outside, but I did not because I had to go to class and the sky opened up and let the rain fall heavy down upon me and so reality kicked back in.
