Chris Yencha- Natural Setting 1

Rain is a bummer. I'm not a particularly outdoorsy person but when I am essentially forced to stay indoors for too long, I start to get a little antsy. Thankfully, the sun came out today in full force and I was able to open my window without being assaulted by a deluge. During most days, when Mother Nature decides to be a reasonable queen, I walk to and from class and play games and spend my days normally without any thought of the weather; however, on the rare occasion that a torrent strikes, or a snowstorm or any other particularly threatening natural occurrence (tsunami! yikes), I am forced to remember the immense power of Nature. Although it doesn't always seem too apparent to us, human beings are small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. We have been blessed with a relatively large cognitive capacity and an adequate mass to essentially rule over every creature and thrive in any environment on Earth. We forget sometimes that there are greater powers in this world to which we do not always pay heed.
Every other time I walk to accounting class for the remainder of the semester, I probably will not have to shield my eyes from a horizontal downpour (I thought this was a pretty humerous way to describe the rain when I was fighting against it on Thursday) or brace myself against heavy wind; however, I hope I don't get caught off guard one day by taking for granted the force of powers which are beyond my ability to resist.
