It has been an emotional week as I returned to my sit spot, knowing that it will be my last time there. I have noticed how the trees were leafless when I was there, and now they are filled with loads of green leaves. The flowers, on the other hand, are covering the entire green field. I not only reflected on the change in nature, I was also reflecting on my relationship with the place as well as the students at the university. I realized that I have grown close to this place emotionally. I hope to continue to spend time with nature even when the Paulson initiative is over. I do think it is a relaxing activity to notice how nature grows as I am also growing. Here are some pictures from my last walk to the field.
