Nature's Gift to People

Whoever said God's greatest gift to humans is eyesight is not joking. They should've said why though. After going to the Mariposa Grove today, I knew why. To see nature. To look at Nature, enjoy it and savor the moment. Mariposa is one of the few places that makes you look and feel very small. The enormous size and greatness of the trees makes you insignificant. Like a superstar, it grabs all the attention and everything else vanishes,becomes usual. Being there made me thankful for being able to see. I had eyes to see. To witness the beauty of nature. Looking at it,I thanked god for creating such beautiful places and I thanked God for creating such wonderful people who looked after it, appericiated it and preserved it for others.


We came back to the Miller's Landing and decided to go to Bass Lake for the first time. If you look at Bass lake the first time, the second time or even every time, you will never guess its man-made. It looks like one of nature's many gifts to humans. It's beautiful, its deep and inspiring. I don't exactly swim anywhere but Bass Lake was just too tempting. I decided to join my friends for a swim. The lake is not sandy, its muddy. Just like the Nile. It did remind me of the Nile. The Nile brings back many memories. Good memories and bad memories. Sadly, the bad memories are the first ones you think about. The Nile memories brought back to me by Bass Lake were good memories.
