Today we went to Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm. We
learned about three different communities in nature, grass, forest, and
wetlands. Also, we learned about the things inside each of them. The producers,
things that make their own food, such as plants. The consumers, things that eat
producers and other consumers, such as foxes. Finally, the decomposers, things
that help dead consumers and producers get broken down, such as bacteria and
fungi. My favorite thing that I saw at Aullwood was the horses, Mick and Red. I
enjoyed witnessing their different personalities and interactions with humans.
Once we returned to school, we wrote a meditation script and
the purpose was to take the reader somewhere, anywhere, and we had to use
sensory details to create a good meditation script.
You are strolling through the forest, embracing nature from
the scent of a delicate flower manipulated by the wind, to the sound of birds
chirping, all with their own unique perfections. Your shoes sink into the mud
but not very deep as you stride along the path. You continue to walk until you
spot a stream. Excited, you take off your shoes and socks and slowly walk into
the stream. You feel little fish swimming around your legs as you stand in the
stream, letting the current of the water cool your legs.
You raise your arm and lift your head. The moonlight gently
resting on your face. You reach for the stars. One little dot doesn’t look like
much but you piece them together and you make a story out of them. You wiggle
your toes and you dig further into the stream. You want to lay in the creek but
you didn’t come prepared. You get out of the stream and pick up your shoes, a
tiny spider crawling around the top. You watch, fascinated, as you let the
spider roam around your shoe until you release onto the ground. You retrace
your steps as you walk back. You listen to the birds and you smell the wind.
Nature, a beautiful world where the journey never ends.
