A big idea that I had while reading Pilgrim at Tinker Creek is that there is always something going on in nature around us. Every person in the world could stop for a moment, but there would still be SO much going on. A thought that I've had is that even if we had a bad day and think that only bad things are happening all around us like murders, animals eating other animals, and trees and flowers dying, there are still many wonderful things happening. For example, just because someone in our family has died doesn't mean a waterfall is going to stop flowing and a tree is going to stop growing. Nature never stops. Nature doesn't revolve around people, the people revolve around nature. This thought makes me realize that I sometimes take the beautiful nature for granted and I should pay attention to it more because without it, I wouldn't be alive.
