Abstract
I am showing my sense of place through showing how I feel about the world around me and what it is to me and how it has changed for me as a grow. I talk about what I see is going on to the world and how I feel it is being affected by people and what needs to happen for it to be right. “You have to clear your vision and take a look at what the world looks like and find out what is true and what is pure.”
Seeing the World Clearly
Ashton Cornett
My sense of place is outside siting in the sun light and breathing in the fresh air with a hint of grass that has been cut by the horses as they graze the fields. I sit out listening to the chatter of prairie dogs on the hills, they scurry around the hill causing problems where ever they go. Every day I have to sit inside when I could be outside in the fresh air and the warming sun beating down on my skin. I ask people what they would rather be doing be outside in the wanders of the great outdoors or sitting inside wasting away in the darkness and the depressing of being inside. As people sit inside the world is not being cared for like it should be and it is suffering from it, but there are still people that are out trying to get the world going and keep it going. We need to make a change to making the world a bigger part of our lives.
The world is a wonderful place and it needs to be taken care of not taken for grant, like some people do. I used to be like these people I didn’t care to be outside I would rather be hiding in the darkness of my room playing games. As time has passed I have grown to see the beauty of the outdoors. Now I would much rather be outside then hiding from it. Being a part of the great outdoors has change the person I am, it made me a hard worker, if I had to be some one that has to be indoors all the time I would probably start to go crazy being locked away from the world. Being a part of the great outdoors, being a part of the cool summer breeze blowing the grass around making it dance in the bright rays of sun light coming down on it. It is something I never thought that I would be happy about but as we age we change so much about ourselves.
When I was young and before I had my horses, nature was nothing to me, but when we got them I became more connected to the world around me. To this time I know nothing will change how I see the world now. When I am outside I see everything clearly, like I had had my senses blurred. But now that fog has been lifted from my vision, and now I see it all like never before. I see the sun and all the brightness of the world around me and everything that had been blurred from my vision.
Different parts all over the world are caged from nature and from the rest of the world. These parts are where technology has taken a firm hold of the people. Some people are able to break out of the cage and enjoy nature in all its glory. I was one of those people, stuck in the cage of technology, but I was also one of those people that were able to get away from the darkness of that cage. It has changed my life for the better of it, I could have become one of those people that never leave their homes and are afraid of the sun light. When I go outside I don’t run from the light but I run towards it, looking for the light on the other side where everything is how you wished that it would be.
The light on the other side doesn’t have to be a place that you would see in a fairy tale, it could be with you already an all you have to do is widen your gaze on the world at see it for what it really is and not for what you think or have been told about it. If you don’t see it yourself, then how do you know what people may be telling you is true? You have to clear your vision and take a look at what the world looks like and find out what is true and what is pure. We look around at our surroundings but we don’t really know what they mean, they could be doing any number of things to the earth.
I, like everyone watches their surroundings when traveling or just going to the store, but when I look around I see tall monsters ripping apart the earth to drain the flowing energy. I see these drilling rigs and their tanks full of energy sources that they pulled from the ground to fuel the demand for power. But not power as control but energy, the more we get the more that we demand to be produced. These monsters stand tall, taller than the trees of nature around them, showing what was becoming the priority for people to have. Nature is being passed by and cast out to never be pulled back in. I used to look at these towering monsters and think that they were so cool, but that was before I ever knew what they were doing to the environment and what they were pulling from the earth.
The creatures that come for energy sources will do whatever they have to do to put there rigs in your yard if it is the right spot. People don’t what to see these things anywhere near their homes. Look out my window and see the towers over tree lines killing the site of nature. People see money in having these things around their homes, but is it worth letting them destroy the earth. Their machines tearing and ripping at the ground leaving destruction. They see money, they don’t see what it is doing to nature.
Why can’t more people see the world for what it is and not what they want to see that it is? I know that there are people that do care for the world and I think they are the people that will keep it alive and going, not these people that you look at and they look like they have never had a speck a dirt on them in the entire life. They are the people that could really use their vision cleared so that they can see ever thing that makes this world great and some where we want to be and somewhere that we can feel like we are alive. People can always make the change from what they think they see to what is really happening and see everything clearly for what it is.
We go outside and everything changes, there will always be an endless amount of things besides hiding from the world. Being a part of what is going on in the world can change how you feel or just give you a place to relax from anything. Everyone and anyone can find a place that they can just feel free and feel alive. My home is the one place that will always be somewhere that I will remember when I started seeing the world clearly.
