After reading both Kelle Lasn’s and Richard Louv’s pieces on how humans have become distant from nature, I became very upset with myself. When I was younger I loved spending time outside. Whether I was playing sports with the neighborhood kids, helping my grandfather with his garden or talking walks in the park near my house, I realized that I do not spend nearly as much time outside as I used to. With technology constantly being invented and reinvented, video games, television shows and phones…

run but, the plants were grabbing at my ankles and I struggled to make it through. And when I finished I had to empty my crocs of all the beans that got in my shoe. I was at my friends sleepover and they live on a farm. We were going to go to the woods that were about 1 ½ acres away from her house. And the fastest way to get there was to run through the field of beans. I picked off all of the brown prickly burrs that stuck to my leg almost as they were stowaways on a pirate ship. “I'm so…

The Flowers Oh, how we long to return to the grand, few, short years of our childhood where nothing in this world mattered but skipping around, humming our favorite tunes, and playing with our most treasured toys. In the story, “The Flowers,” by Alice Walker, she gives to us a young girl, by the name of Myop, that vaguely wandered onto abandoned grounds within her backyard. Myop was, before, a little ray of sunshine with the world in her hands and not a care in it, but her new adventure gave…

Dogwoods brilliantly dot the wondrous landscape of rural Alabama and Georgia. Home. The very tops of the hardwood trees are invisible in the winter time. I fly so close that I feel that I might brushed up against a few. Their gray tips just blend in with the surroundings. A lone tree limb hangs over the edge viewing the wild beneath its shadow. My prop wash certainly makes them sway as if a strong wind had pushed itself through the Venturi effect of the winding tree line. God’s protection…

I stand and gaze at the magnificent American Oak towering tall and proud over me. It's hard to imagine that only two-hundred years ago, it was just a seed planted in the minds of men living in thirteen colonies. This seed was planted by men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. When this small American Oak seed finally broke through the surface it was stained crimson with the blood of thousands who sacrificed their lives for the tiny seed. It was not hard for those men who died, and those…

Building a strong foundation for a house begins with healthy, first class soil. My granny Ana was the healthiest, most exceptional brand of soil, in which the foundations of my family lay. The poem ‘A Song of Living’ reminds me of granny Ana. The way Amelia Burr explains how a life well live diffuses the fear or “sorrow” of death gives peace to my soul. I discovered this poem exactly a year ago when my grandma passed away. The decadent smell of pancakes will wake us up on Sunday mornings and…
