Chris Estes, Student Experience 1

Chris Estes, Student Experience 1

The other day when we were on the Noland trail, I felt like I was supposed to be out there for a reason. I randomly was walking and saw a tree that had been rotted from the ground until the top of it. I saw that in the stump there was a heart shaped hole. Then I looked up at the other half the tree that had fallen off and it didn't have the heart shaped hole. I was curious about this, and thought that maybe the stump didn't have the kind of relationship that the other part of the tree wanted with it. It was interesting to see that it was possible for the other half of the tree not to have that heart-shape in the trunk of it. It was a pretty big hole in the stump, so maybe that is where some bugs or things had been eating away at the wood to get food for themselves. In that case, it would be the circle of life because for them to survive they would need the wood. It was very interesting and crazy that I thought I needed to see something while I was out on the Noland trail, and it happened. I was interested in it and it was cool for me to find out what the meaning was behind it all. It was pretty fun.
