Natural Transformation

The day was Sunday. The phone ringing wouldn’t stop ringing.  So I had to answer the phone. My friend called me at 10 a.m. She told me that her friends would be going to paddle at Zilker park.  I felt lazy, but my boyfriend agreed with my friends, so we had to go. At noon I went to Zilker park with my friends. I saw a lot of cars in the parking lot. I walked down to the Colorado River. I saw a lot of people, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, paddles, and life jackets. People were relaxing.  I saw someone wearing a hat. Someone was wearing sunglasses to protect their eyes. Someone was taking their dogs for a walk. I saw the registration point to rent a boat.  The officers forced us to take life jacket onto the boat, but we didn't wear them because we didn’t like the smell of them.  I wanted a long spatula that could paddle on both sides, but my friend said, “It is unbalanced.” “You must choose the small one,” I said. I smelled like sun lotion, fresh air, and weed. I could smell the lotion from me and my friends. I saw someone smoking. I felt natural and adventurous. I saw turtles, fish, ducks, birds, and dogs. They were swimming and flying. Some turtles were swimming. Some turtles were standing on the rocks. The weather was good. The water was cold. I touched it. I saw my friends jump into the water. My friends were enjoying the cold water.  I didn't want to get wet because I was afraid the phone and the camera would get wet. After I arrived, I touched the cool water. I jumped into the water because I felt hot. My feet touched the stone under the water. I felt good and relaxed. I saw cans underwater, someone had thrown them out. I told my boyfriend to keep them. I heard music. It was pop and dance music. I heard dogs bark. I heard birds sing. I saw people rowing, drinking, talking, laughing, and smoking.  Someone was fishing. I saw teenagers jumping from the bridge into the river (it wasn’t high).  They were happy on the weekend. I let my thoughts be with nature. In my head, I let go of everything. I felt relaxed with nature. I felt the positive energy in my body.
