Day 2

Today we went to Delco park to spend time with the novelist Rob E. Boley and to immerse ourselves in nature. When we met he thought us fun exercises where you take three words from a random page and make a haiku from them. The words I chose were "especially one made" form these words I made the haiku

Lone Sparrow

Especially here
One lone sparrow flies higher
made small by the world

He also showed us how to make a story from a magazine page. You take one sentence and every word in the sentence becomes the beginning of the next line. My sentence was "juncture a point in time especially one made critical or important by a concurrence of circumstances. The short story I wrote was of a dragon talking to a hero who keeps putting off his fate.

Dragon: juncture a time has has come to choose your path do you choose to save our love or the kingdom
A choice must be made
Pointing one way the key to your happiness
In the other direction is the lives of the innocent
Time is not on your side, you have fought against your duties for to long
Especially now more than ever
One choice could either spell the end of all or a new beginning
Made soon the choice must be
Critical it is but, only to you it falls
or a change could be made, there is a chance to save all
important it is that you make the right choices
By storm or flame
A choice will be made
Currently you have two roads laid out before you
Of your choices these have come to be, which path shall you follow

Hero Juncture:...Circumstances may have dictated the paths I can choose but, one destiny is what you choose to make it. I shall carve my own path towards my goal and none shall stop me.

I call It hero's choices

After this we had a small world exercise where we would observe a one square patch of nature and right down what we see form a standing or close up position. So we can see some of the brilliantly beautiful occurrences in nature that we miss from our high vantage points.

After I had finished the activity I had gone down to the dock to sit and observe the water. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something jerk. There was an old fishing line tied to the railing, so I started to pull it in and on the end of it was a catfish. So my friends and I pull it up and work the hook out of its mouth and released it back into the lake.
