Tumalo Week 1: Reflection

Tumalo Week 1: Solitude and Reflection

Today the purpose of solitude and reflection was to take note  experiences from mapping to bankful lines to just seeing this place for the first time. This helped me realize how I impact my surroundings. This weeks solitude and reflections gave me a time to slow down the day and focus on the place that surrounded me. It also gives us time to find peace with our surroundings that we have come to love for generations. We write silently as we become lost in work. Each week we are given a new prompt to help us guide our writing.This weeks prompt was to: Describe the area around us with enough detail that someone who has never been here could imagine what it is like to be you in this place. Here are some of my favorite examples of this prompt:

 Jessi Head:

I feel the wind lick me. Wishing that I could swim,if i was allowed to i’d dive right in. I live this new oath to love natures grace. A hill on each side a creek through the center. Once i got off the bus i knew this place was special.

Soleil Haskell:
The sky is blue with no sign of a cloud but still full with the thick smog of the fire. As I try to think about the fire the creek distracts me. With each rock it flows over it whispers "Am I not magnificent?" and it really is.
