Branches sway, the wind blows, leaves crunch underfoot, the sky shows blue, creeks ripple, the forest makes me feel peaceful and little bit lonely. The forest is a treasure, that I love to see . It is beautiful and radiant. Trees stand tall as their leaves fall to the ground, the sun shines, animals run free. Heard are the calls of the wild, happiness is felt. I am curious, I’m pondering about the forest, everything is at ease in the forest. I can’t describe the forest in words, it’s too gorgeous to explain. I am amazed at the wonders in the forest, peaceful and quiet in the forest. It brings me pure joy, the forest is a treasure I know the Lord created. This place is truly amazing.

I saw hundreds of trees whistling in the wind, and then I saw the sky that reminded me of a deep blue sea. For a brief second, I saw the leaves that were once on a tree. And lastly I saw the sun, looking down on all of God’s creations. And then I saw God living in all the people and things around me. The wind was whispering in my ear saying God is watching.
--Bobcat Brianna - St. Mary, 2004
To me the forest means peaceful times and respecting God’s creation. I think we should be more responsible for things. The forest is my favorite place to be. I love the sounds, its a little cold, but thats okay. I love the trees, flowers, and other animals. To me the forest has the most beautiful colors. When I grow up I want to live in the forest.

I learned that the forest is a very special place. All the old stumps that are decomposed seem really interesting if you think of how they used to be humongous trees. It almost seems magical, everthing seems to go together perfectly, all the trees , the creek, and the very peaceful surroundings. I really like it here in the forest. I wish everywhere I went was like the forest.

Crunch, Crunch, Crunch, the sound of my feet on the ground. I walk, walk, walk, I am on the journey of life. I feel at peace. Nothing can harm me now. No fear, no desires, no pain. The treesd, tall and wide are hopeful.
-- Bear Blair (Holy Spirit - 2002)
Nature, a kiss from God. Beautiful, sweet, peaceful, relaxing. Nature a gift from God to human life. Nature - God’s love to us. But it will be destroyed so wee need to save it.
--Grizzly Gabby (Holy Spirit 2002).
Out here where I am the sound of humans is no longer here. The chirp of a bird, the sound of the bees is all I can hear out where I am. A tree standing tall, a bush so low, leaves everywhere is all I can see out here where I am. The smell of plants with a pungent smell, and some not so pungent is all I can smell out wher I am. Thats the wonderful sights, smells and sounds that I can endure out where I am.
-- Jackrabbit Julie (Holy Spirit - 2002)
I saw a part of nature, I have seen it face to face. It all just fit together in peaceful quiet race. I never thought about the grass or the trees standing tall, because it’s certainly not a market, house or shopping mall. I never noticed God’s great gift of green and happy light. If there’s one thing I’ve been waisting it is my lovely, clear sight. I understand its beauty, I understand it’s fate, and as I look around I see that this world is really great!

The creek is so sweet when it flows like a fountain. The roots of the trees take a sip of water like a little zebra getting a drink from the water hole. When I am here I forget all my worries and pain.
-- Donald Denne (St. Joseph - Auburn 2002)
Treest that seem like giants and you and me having this wonderful experience. Rain, Rustling sound of the leaves. Earth and its beautiful surroundings.
--Brian Morgan (St. Lawrence - 2002)
I am sitting on a mossy tre branch. I can hear the wind rustle in the trees and I can see a decayed tree stump and lots of branches and leaves on the forest floor. There is not a lot of light but it is nice and peaceful. I can see the creek whcih is full of tree roots and a banana slug on a branch. I had a great time, bye!
--Steven Lavenda (St. Lawrence - 2002)
When I sit quietly in the forest I can hear the wind blowing through the trees. I can see the clouds move along in the sky. If I listen very carefully I can hear the leaves falling to the ground. Everything is so peacefull, I fell like I am gong to fall aslieep. When I talk, I feel like I have to talk softly. I can see the sun peeking through the trees. It’s amazing when you see what God can do.
--Red Fox Ryan (St. Lawrence - 2002)
I can seed trees with green or dried leaves, with som of them having moss on it. And on the ground, I see vines growing everywhere and pinecones everywhere. Also logs, twigs, and many leaves from the trees. I can hear birds chirping, and the sound of the light breezze blowing in the trees. The sound of the stream is also heard here. I can feel the wind blowing my face and the rought bark on the trees. I can smell fresh air from the trees and the flowers. I can also taste the delicious blackberries with an extremely seet taste and I can almost taste what the air is like.
--Alexander Jermo (St. Lawrence - 2002)
The wind are cars roaring by. The leaves move slowly up and down like elevators. The air is frest and cool like an ice cube. Birds greet each other as we do. The trees are giants, shading us from sunlight. The crickets are clocks staying in time.
