The Nolan Trail: Diana Cox

So many people forget the beauty of nature. Having an opportunity to experience the true beauty of God’s creation during class was inspiring. God’s nature can be experienced on so many levels. Many travelers of the Nolan trail walk gingerly along the path quietly admiring the nature around them. Some travelers run violently through the path concentrating on what lies ahead. Although travelers experience the trail differently, they all experience God’s creation. Many may not notice the ground they walk on, but it holds history of past visitors. Each visitor takes a piece of the trail (dirt) with them on their journey through the day. It might just be soil or dirt but the thing that all walk upon is covered with vibrant green. The green meadows of the Nolan trail illustrate the beauty of God’s creation. The thin crisp grass blades that cover the ground show God’s unique ability to design the smallest of plants. The framing plants of the trail illustrate how God can place a plant in the darkest of shadows and even provide light enough light to provide life. The flowers and berries show God’s many options on his creation color wheel. The mighty trees that surround the trail provide their shade and shadows to protect those in need. The surrounding areas of the trail that so many see show the importance of nature in everyday life. The plants and trees give off oxygen and supplement for all animals. The plant life of the trail offers support for so much without any thing in return. As part of God’s creation we should respect the nature given to us; we should offer it help. We should not spoil or damage what God has given to us we should try to save it.
