I am so anxious. The election is coming up, and it feels like my only solace is these woods. This is the only break I get from social media, work, and school assignments. When the world is constantly pressing and pushing, sometimes nature is the only answer. Today we had a guest speaker from the Biology department showing us all of the biodiversity in the woods, and we also had campus photography taking photos of us as we walked through on our nature hike. Wright State plans to offer an Environmental Studies major, and if I would have heard about that when I joined WSU, I would have majored in it. Oh, if only I was a few years younger, the I could declare it as my very first major.
Also, I know I said the woods were alive last time, but this time the color is actually popping out! However, I feel as if it’s much duller than years past. I know part of it is that we’re in a drought, (the riverbed is so dry!) but the other part of me wonders if it’s my eyes? Everything was so much brighter and more vibrant when I was a child. Even things on the Television and around other parts of campus, everything looks and feels muted. However, sometimes, the sun peeks out behind the clouds, and it gets so bright and pretty! I took a photo of some wild daisies that I found while walking. I think the weather being so warm this time of year is confusing the plants! At home my lilac tree (it’s a really big bush) is blooming again. I read online that the reason plants flower again is because they’re in distress and want to get their offspring planted before they die. Maybe the world is screaming before she falls asleep for the winter.
