WHEN NATURE HAS…

 

FEW PEOPLE KNOW…

“Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence, and nothing too much.”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

 Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882) who went by his middle name Waldo, was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist and poet who led the Transcendentalist/Transcendentalism movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of Individualism and critical thinking, as well as a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society and conformity. Friedrich Nietzsche thought he was "the most gifted of the Americans", and Walt Whitman called him his "master".
