iMedia: Four Seasons

When looking at this picture you automatically notice the different seasons. The Four seasons might not matter to a lot of people but it matters to me.  Each day the weather drives my emotions. Of course it’s not the only thing that affects me but it is the first that that affects me when I wake up in the morning.

The moment I wake up I look outside to see what the weather is like outside.

When I look outside and I see snow falling gracefully and my dad outside shoveling.  This feeling of coldness hits me.  I hate winter more than anything. There’s nothing about it I like, you will never catch me outside during winter unless I’m walking to my car or inside.  This weather puts me down, it makes me feel sad. During this weather I often feel more moody than usual.   

When I look outside and I see flowers blooming, my grass turning greener and maybe rain drops every now and then. I know that spring is here, this type of weather makes me feel graceful. I’m not totally crazy about this weather because of the rain but at least flowers are blooming which add color to our world. I know that in the near future summer will be here.

When I look outside and I see the sun shining bright, a bunch of green leaves on the trees, my brother and sister playing in the swimming pool, and my mom outside in her garden. I feel happier than I have ever felt during any other season because the sun gives me energy. It encourages me to go out and do stuff rather than sitting inside.  During this season most of the time I’m in a very good mood. This is my favorite season.

When I look outside and I see the leaves have turned red, orange and yellow as they fall a couple at a time, and my brother and sister jumping in a pile of leaves. I feel refreshed because the air is cooler than the air in summer.  It feels good to have breeze verse humidity.  This season is for the most part a pretty joyful season but near the end I begin to feel sad because winter is coming my way.

But looking at this picture what it expresses to itself is the trees circle of life. That throughout a period of a year it goes through four different changes. The tree is able to be someone new every time a new season has come around.  But for others trees don’t mean that much. We take advantage of trees we cut them down like they can grow back the next day.  What people don’t realize is how long it takes a tree to become big and strong. Not to say that everyone doesn’t appreciate trees, there are some people that do. They take walks through the forest and they put bird feeders in the trees to give it more life.  When looking at this picture you should try and dig deeper and grasp a feeling for the trees and our seasons and how they do affect us every day.

Blogging Around: New Ideas

            While reading this Collette’s blog it was like she stole the words right out of my mouth I couldn’t have said it any better. She got the same feeling I got after watching Born into Brothels. She talked about the idea of creativity and how it is an escape for people when they are stuck in a challenging situation much like the kids in the movie. She also talked about how creativity has no limitations and that it is a very powerful and important thing that people often over think.   

My comment: I really liked this idea and how Colette expressed creativity in a way many people don’t really see it. Most of the time people see it as a way of only art and uniqueness. But it’s much more than that it is a way for people to get away and express themselves in many new and exciting ways. This was an idea I really thought about too because I got the same feeling, that when I’m sad or lost ill try and turn to creativity for help as well.

            Jason’s idea of having a music less world was something I never even thought of. While reading this I started to wonder my own curiosities about living in a world without music. He brought up example and explained moments that he has had and that people often have while listening to music. Even though sometimes we don’t realize it but our ears are noticing how beautiful the music is. Maybe that is because we have been listening to it since we were babies. This idea also made me think back to my “what if we lived in a world of dullness and simplicity”. Also, how if we lived in a world of dullness and simplicity and music less we would be a very confused and lost society. This shows how much we really need creativity in terms of music and sound to building our communities.    

My comment: I never thought of this what if?! I realize how much music is involved in my life and I didn’t even know it. I have been listening to music ever since I was a baby. Everyone does like music but we all seem to take advantage of it. I like how Jason expressed this by giving us many examples.
