SMALL PIECE OF HEAVEN FLORISSANT VISIT




                                                                Such interesting beauty
                                                                Past buzzing within us
                                              Almost makes us love things that creep us out



Florissant Fossil Bed National Monument really is heavenly.  As I made my way through the trees and the walkways I started to think about the way things flowed here.  The trees talked to me about their many years, through winters and summers.  The wind blowed and I felt how free it is to be in a place so different from the city.  I also pondered how the wind also blows when it's warm or when it's cold. This place gives me a sense of how the world always recycles itself.  How the world is the perfect place for humans to enjoy life with its many forms of amazing wonders.  Awesome trees like the one above.  Bees and spiders that still, to this day, continue to be apart of our world.  This place, to me, is a statue of amazement.

The past is hard to imagine.  The redwoods, the volcanoes, the animals.  This place helps me to keep in mind that the future, as beautiful as it once was, can still be today. It also makes me think change is inevitable.  Change, sometimes good, sometimes bad, is one thing that makes possible for the world to be better.  Even though were advanced, and to the point where nature seems to take a back seat to the many other necessities in our daily lives; what happiness would there be without it?  Without nature how would we know real life?  

This place, the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument; is a special place. A place of history that renews itself by itself, and with the help of its workforce and volunteers.  Abram would enjoy a small piece of Heaven.  I know I did.
