Natural Setting Blog
The Noland Trail expedition for class was very intriguing. It was a pleasant change to experience the wilderness that was a significant part of our class. Instead of being inside a classroom of cinder blocks we got to experience the source of sacredness for itself. Walking through the woods I began to see in it the things we had talked about in class. The superiority of the tall trees, the calmness of the water, the small detail of the plants we walked by. And all this scenic beauty around me gave me a small idea of the world we lived in. It was not about my problems but a bigger picture with God having worked out a plan for us somehow. How could all this be around me and I not see it? How could I only see the text from the class readings and not realize the grandeur of it? The trail gave me an idea of how big this world was, the beauty that was in it and the sacredness instilled deep within nature. The trip to the Noland trail and actually being able to see the wilderness and touch it was a highlight of my ULLC class this semester.
