Blog Topic: Nature
The other week my friends and I decided to walk the Noland Trail. I wasn’t planning on using the walk as a topic for one of my blogs, but strangely it actually fits. I didn’t realize that one of the people I was with is extremely strong in their faith. About halfway through the walk they stopped to take a picture and of course they had to post it on Instagram. He captioned the picture with "He hath made every thing beautiful." which is apparently a bible verse from Ecclesiastes. I don’t consider myself religious whatsoever, but just from hearing this bible verse I realized even nature is involved in religion and faith. Apparently almost the entire book of Ecclesiastes is focused around nature and science, I had never thought about religion and its connection to nature and everything else in the world. It’s interesting to hear a person who has strong faith explain things, such as nature, through a religious approach. Because I always just simply think of things as science. Trees grow, they die, another one grows. I don’t even stop and think maybe someone could’ve put that tree there for a particular reason. It was just interesting to see how someone used their religion and God to explain everything.
