"Before the Flood" Reflection

-
 02/20/2025 - "Before the Flood" Reflection I recently had the privilege of watching Before the Flood , a documentary film produced and narrated by actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio. The film takes an urgent look at the state of the planet, highlighting the ongoing threats posed by climate change and the human actions driving environmental degradation. With DiCaprio using his platform to spread awareness, the film serves as both a personal journey of learning experiences and a call to action. DiCaprio travels across the globe to meet with scientists, world leaders, and environmental activists to understand the full extent of the crisis. From the melting ice caps in the Arctic to deforestation in Indonesia, the documentary underscores the widespread impact of human activity on ecosystems. DiCaprio’s encounters with experts like President Barack Obama and Pope Francis add weight to the film’s message of global collaboration and responsibility. I found it partic...

My Ten Best Photos

Below are my ten best photos... This collection of ten photos represents more than a highlight reel—it’s a reflection of the ways nature has shaped my experiences, mindset, and sense of self over the past semester. Each photo captures a moment of stillness, movement, or discovery, and together, they help tell a larger story: how spending time in the natural world can offer clarity, direction, and connection. Two of these photos were taken in Orange County, California, where I’ll be starting law school at UCI in just a few months. These aren’t just scenic shots—they symbolize a turning point. When I visited, I found myself looking at the ocean and the open space around me and feeling a strange mix of calm and momentum. It’s not easy to make big decisions about your future, but being in a space where the horizon felt wide open helped me process that this next chapter is something I’m truly ready for. Self-discovery doesn’t always happen in isolation—it often happens in motion, while expl...

Nature's Ability to Connect Us with God

-
 02/26/2025 - Nature's Ability to Connect Us with God Throughout this week, I have spent a considerable amount of time outside enjoying the February 70-degree weather. One of my favorite activities is walking along the Trinity River and stopping at the rock bridge to journal and pray. As a Catholic, I believe spending time in the outdoors and observing God’s marvelous works is a form of prayer; I personally feel most connected to God when I am able to reflect on my blessings, especially the beauty of the world around me. We are called to be stewards of God’s creation, and being immersed in nature helps me feel that connection on a deeper level. As I spend time in nature, I am reminded of how intimately God is involved in every aspect of creation. The sunlight filters through the trees in soft beams, casting shadows that dance on the ground. There’s a peace that comes from being surrounded by the natural world that is hard to replicate elsewhere. I find myself reflecting on the...
