Bernie's running and discovering

Today has already been a crazy day because I just ran the Two Oceans Half Marathon. This was something that I have been trying to accomplish for 3 years, so I am very excited to have completed it in one of prettiest places on earth! First half marathon and it was in Cape Town! That’s so awesome!!

Anyways this past week I have been reflecting a lot with everything that we have learned. In class we watched a video called “I Am’ and that is the reason I have been reflecting. This movie was a very eye-opening movie for me to watch. It was eye opening because it talks about everyone is connected when in our world we are all used to talking about how we’re different. This video asks what’s wrong with the world and it made me realize that I am what’s wrong with the world, people are what’s wrong with the world because we all find ways to separate ourselves when in reality our body tells us that were connected, nature tells us that were connected, but we don’t listen to that. What I loved about this video was that it was very scientific. Me as a lover of science I love hearing about experiments done and what the results are and what was found was that we are all connected by electromagnetic waves, through the heart, and through the air. It also said that science is finally catching up with spirituality. To me that is crazy because those two worlds have different views of how the world was made and topics of that matter but with the video saying that science finally caught up with spirituality, shows me that science isn’t always right, and that’s a hard thing for me to admit because I always see science as the main answer to questions. Spirituality always said that were all connected and now science is saying that too. I wish that more people knew this information in order to embrace it more. I very much enjoyed the “I Am’ video that we watched and it really made me rethink the world.

We go to Johannesburg tomorrow and I am so excited to see a new area and learn some new information! It should be a really fun week and we get to it end it with Kruger National Park and get to see the Big 5 hopefully!
