Why I Need Wild

My perspective throughout this semester has completely shifted regarding the wild, and why I, in fact, do need wild. I think throughout this course, I’ve begun to think about what society would have looked like if “wild” was something we cherished rather than something we tried to destroy. In order for an area to progress in our own minds, we think we need to level the land, put concrete everywhere, and then have a park somewhere else. But what if the utopian society we looked forward to was one where we are with nature, rather than a sci-fi, ultra high-tech, mega-skyscraper city? I think a goal of mine now is to become better in nature. To have more knowledge on how to camp, stay safe, and explore this vast earth. I hope wild isn’t something that feels “out there” to me, but something that one day I feel a part of. Some of my favorite moments this past semester have been the times where I go outside and am intentional about what I’m thinking, knowing I’ll write about it later in my bl...

Ten Best Photos

#10 Cutting Privet at the Nature Refuge The smiles and bad posture say it all. It's hard work but fun to do with friends.  #9 The Trinity River While not the prettiest sight to see, it reminds me of home. I love having a trail to run on near TCU.  #8 Nazare, Portugal: The Great Wave While in Portugal, I took a day trip to see some huge waves. It was cold and raining sideways but well worth it.  #7 The Duck Pond A great place to hang out with the ducks.  #6 Marine Creek Lake The orange and blue complimentary colors look beautiful next to each other.  #5 Sintra, Portugal - Quinta da Regaleira Colorful tree and moody building. #4 Frog Fountain  A classic.  #3 San Marcos River It looked like a real life Van Gogh painting. Or a peacock feather. We swam in the water too and it was refreshing.  #2 Duoro Valley, Portugal Home of port wine, vineyards here have had the same techniques for the past 800 years.  My Best Photo:  #1 Birds of Paradise...

Outside Lies Magic - Something Extraordinary in the Ordinary

For this class last week, I got the opportunity to go to one of my favorite places: The Fort Worth Zoo.  My friends and I spent the next few hours meandering through the wonder that is creation. Being there reminded me of Psalm 96:11-12 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;     let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;     let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. This Psalm calls for universal joy and praise from all of God's creation. There are so many things in this world that look designed, and it all points back to our designer - the Lord.  One of the first animals that made me slow down was a small tortoise tucked under some greenery. At first glance, it almost blended into the environment. But the longer I looked, the more detail I noticed—the pattern on its shell, the slow and intentional way it moved, and how calm it seemed in its space. There was something grounding about it. In a...
