New York in the Fall

I was looking through my notes and some papers I had from this class and I found a quote from one of the writings we read. "It's your doing that under the wheeling constellations of the sky, he wrote, all nature teams together with life- something of the earth beyond our human dramas." This quote was from State of the Planet by Robert Hass. This I related to instantly because of something that had happened to me over Thanksgiving break when I went home to New York. First let me say that it was absolutely beautiful in New York. There could not have been any nicer weather for a late November week. It was so awesome being home with my family and friends and coming home to that weather only made it better. But I had run into some drama with an old friend when I was home and I was so upset and hurt by everything that was happening and it was all quite childish. But needless to say it was something that I had to deal with and take care of. I am the type of person that likes to think about things before I do them especially when it comes to fights and things like that.So I went to a local lake late at night when no one was around and thought about everything that had happened. I went out on the dock and laid down and looked up at the stars and took a look at my life. I realized a lot of things that I had done right and I had done wrong. It was under those stars that I looked at many different aspects of my life. It was a great night that I just got to look up at nature and have God speak through it for me.
