Nature Journal 3

If this area would never been touched by humans, what a beautiful place it would have been. It is hard to even grasp on the outlook that this four acre land would be like. I can picture a forest with plants growing and tons of new species that would go untouched with no fertilizer to destroy it. Animals could run freely and live without the fear of being hunted. The grass would be as high as the Great Pyramid of Egypt and glow when the sun is at its highest peak. That is what any land would look like without human touch I suppose. But unlike other locations this one is special.

You get a sense that other things go on here. As humans we take things for granted and do not see or feel things like nature does. For instance, the trees that were cut down in this area was the home for many other species or belonged to a family of trees that existed before we could even see. This place seems to have a lot of memory. Probably going way back to the dinosaur age where battles upon battles happened and the ones who fell behind blew away like the wind full of dust and ashes. I can see this place being a hot spot for many animals because there is water close by in each direction.

Nature is always taken advantage of each and everyday. Our society has forgotten about the key features of life and the value of that we all share the same sunlight. Not just each individual human but the animals, plants, insects, unknown species, and even the very air that we breathe as we take every breath. I feel that this wonderful place has lost its beauty thanks to our industrialized ways. I believe that if this land was never touched it could possibly be one of the most sacred places in the state of Indiana.
