Journal Post #1 -Rebeca Castro

Day 2 of our trip was absolutely amazing. We went to the Artist's Pallette which was so breathtakingly beautiful. Standing atop a peak looking out at the world around me I was overcome with a sense of awareness of my mortality and a greater appreciation for the beauty of nature. The colors streaking over the mountainside were gorgeous as if painted by God. It's easy to forget in our day-to-day lives that resources are limited. We live in houses in cities with supermarkets not more than a 5-minute car trip away, seemingly endless supplies of water and electricity. Our trash gets disposed of for us, somewhere we might never see. In our modern western lives, we forget to appreciate what we have and the importance of taking care of the earth. I feel like I have a newfound respect for what I am privileged to have and I will not be able to go back to being so carelessly wasteful.
