1. Clare answers all the questions.
2. Clare responds to each prompt vividly. Through her use of imagery and descriptive words, her writing brings to life her original thoughts. I specifically relate to her first answer a lot, and I also really like the way she answered 9a.
3. She has a visual for each post.
4. All of the visuals are either taken by Clare, drawn by Clare, or correlate directly what she is trying to say, enhancing her writing.
5. Her drawing of a light bulb is very colorful and makes sense. It is easy to understand what she is thinking and how it relates to the prior question. She even included an extra piece of original artwork in number 10, which was very impressive.
6. I think that overall Clare shared her thoughts pretty concisely, but was a little bit repetitive on the second question.
7. I specifically really like Clare's gifs and original artwork. I also like how vulnerable she was when she share about the topics.
8. After reading Clare's work I see in a new way that even though I might have answered some of the questions slightly differently, she has valid points for all her arguments and expresses them very well.

1. Where are you and what are you doing, when you feel most peaceful, clear minded, and strong?

# data[].attributes.body
I feel the most peaceful, clear minded, and strong when I go on runs in nature with my puppy. The action of running brings me to a beautiful state of mind. I love the sound my shoes make when they hit the ground. It is like a song. Being in nature is a way for me to see God's presence in the world. When I look at the curves of the trees and the dangling branches, I think of how precious life is and how lucky I am to be alive. My puppy, Lucy, keeps me company and brings me joy. Being out in nature makes her happy, and I am happy when she is happy.

2a. What leads you to reach out to others for help?

# data[].attributes.body
The feeling of comfort and safety that I know I will receive is what leads me to reach out to others for help. I feel safe and comforted reaching out to others for help when I am in times of need because I know how supportive my friends and family will be. I have surrounded myself with beautiful people who will never judge me nor break my trust. They have my back and just the thought of them makes me feel safe. These are the people that I never want to lose.

2b. Is it something that you do consciously?

# data[].attributes.body
Reaching out to others for help is something that I do unconsciously. I am so used to having such a great support system that I can confide in. In my times of need, without thinking, I will talk to a trusted individual and automatically feel better. I have accepted the fact that there are some things that are too big for me to handle all by myself. While this was difficult to accept, I am glad that I did because, through talking to people about my issues, I have become a happier and more peaceful person. It is never good to hold onto heavy feelings such as anger and jealousy.

2c. How do those to whom you reach-out, respond?  

# data[].attributes.body
I only confide in people who I know will act positively and compassionately towards me. Because of this, I always receive a positive, compassionate, and helpful response. Based on my relationships and past experiences with people, I know who to reach out to and confide in. I feel so blessed to have such amazing individuals in my life. I try to never take these wonderful people for granted. As the picture below demonstrates, their acceptance brings me peace and comfort.

# data[].attributes.body
When I reach out to someone and they reach back to help me, I feel loved, safe, and appreciated. I also feel extremely relieved when I find out that someone understands my struggles. Just the thought of someone caring about me enough to reach back out to me to help warms my heart. I am blessed to have such wonderful people in my life that I can count on to reach back and help me.

3a. When you hear, see or imagine the word God, what comes to your mind?

# data[].attributes.body
When I see or imagine the word God, I think of various things, depending on my mood. Although, for the most part, I think of my relationship with God and how it affects my day to day life. It is absolutely crazy how a small human being like myself can listen to and communicate with God. My experience with God so far has been extremely positive. Knowing that God will always be there for me makes me feel happy and comforted. I also ask myself if I am being the best Catholic that I can be and I reflect deeply on that question.

# data[].attributes.body
This comes to my mind when I see or imagine the word God because God's presence in the world is so positive and bright. He is like a light shinning down on earth, guiding everyone towards goodness. His presence can also be described as like a warm blanket on a cold day, wrapped around you and comforting you. I can always rely on God. He will always be there for me, whether I chose to accept Him or not.

4. What do you experience or feel when you imagine you're standing on this precipice looking out into this expanse of beauty? 

# data[].attributes.body
When I imagine myself standing on this precipice looking out into this expanse of beauty, I feel like God is reaching out to me through the light of the sunset. The colors of the sunset combined with the elegance of the canyons encapsulates the beauty and grace of God's creation. This brings me to a peaceful state because I think of God, who accepts and love me no natter what.

6.  Have you ever looked into a reflection such as this, where the water mirrors what's all around you? How does it make you feel? And/or what does it invite you to think?

# data[].attributes.body
When I look into a reflection such as this, where the water mirrors what's all around me, I feel calm because of the serenity of the water. It mirrors my state of mind and invites me to reflect on my actions, just as the my surroundings reflect on the water. I think about how I can be a better person and more positively impact the people in my life.

The purpose of religion is to provide individuals with a higher being of whom they can depend upon one hundred percent.

7b. Do you agree or disagree with this quote. Explain your experience/point of view.   

# data[].attributes.body
On the assumption that I interpreted this quote as Friedrich Schleiermacher intended it to be interpreted, I disagree with him on the essence of religion. As a Catholic, I believe that God guides everyone towards love and personal growth. However, I disagree with this quote because, in circumstances we have control over, personal input-action is necessary. In order to reach your goals, it is necessary to make an effort yourself, rather than just praying that God will somehow make it happen. For example, I cannot skip studying for my history test, and then depend on God for a good grade.

7c. If you were to modify this quote--replacing the word "Dependence" for some others, what would it be?  

# data[].attributes.body
I would replace the word "dependence" with the word "love," so that the quote would read "The essence of love consists in the feeling of absolute love."

# data[].attributes.body
I replaced the word "dependence" with the word "love" because religion is, or at least should be, centered on loving everyone and everything. Through loving God and God's creation, the world will become a more loving and joyful place.

Mary depended on God "absolutely." She never once, unlike all other humans, doubted God and sinned. She showed her absolute dependence on and trust in God when she said yes to concieving Jesus.

8b. Does Mary experiences love with respect to God? 

# data[].attributes.body
Mary experiences love with respect to God. God loves all people no matter what. Since Mary is human, God loves her. God's love is infinite and unconditional.

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship between God and Jesus is one of perfect unity. While independence is often seen as a sign of strength, it is much more difficult to depend on someone else, as Jesus did on God. Dependence and trust in another being requires great obedience. When Jesus needed strength or guidance, He looked to God. Jesus depended on God to lead Him in His journey through life, which resulted in our salvation.

# data[].attributes.body
When I reach out and am open to God and God reaches back, I feel a great sense of empowerment. I feel empowered because there are 7.6 billion people on the earth and God cares about me and loves me. I feel like a little girl in the arms of her father.
