Outside Experience Journal #2: Adin Katz


Outside Experience Journal #2: Adin Katz
The second outside experience I had was taken around the Noland trail after we went as a class.  Although I did the same section of I went at a different time of day and in different weather conditions.  I went this time at sunset as the sun was coming down over the water bathing everything will golden light.  Also the weather was warm and clear with a nice breeze compared to the brisk rain that we went through while in class.  It truly created a new environment for me to explore and understand.  I am glad that I went back under different conditions because it provided me with an insight, that part of the reason that certain places mean things to others that we may not understand is because conditions are always changing.  If sacred place can be tred upon but not entered perhaps part of the reason is that in order to see the sacred you have to in the proper conditions.  Gardens of moonflowers are perfect examples, they are nothing but green vines throughout the day but at night they become something truly beautiful.   I actually learned more the second time through the trail than the first as if my eyes were more open, I will apply this strategy of journeying places more than once before trying to apply judgment.
