“accompanied by the undulations of celestial music, instead of factory bells, and a fragrance filling the air”

Focus more not nature, rather than the material world.

“I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least—and it is commonly more than that—sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.”

Clarity comes with nature with something as simple as a walk.

“I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions.”

Blind conformity is incorrect, and against the duty of any citizen.

Dead Poet Society, related a lot to transcendentalism with its explicit connection to individualism and nature. With Mr. Keating's eccentric teaching style, and Neil's want to be an actor the movie was heavily related to the tenets of transcendentalism. Whitman's poem "Oh me! Oh Life!" also relates to transcendentalism With its answer to his own questions, explaining the importance of transcendentalism thought, and it giving life more depth.

Neil's suicide surprised me, as he never showed signs of defeat, and truly seemed to persevere and help those all around him.

My verse will be to go into the medical field, and become a cardiologist. I have chosen this route in the medical field, as I not only enjoy the sciences and do enjoy learning about them. But I also feel like the idea of being able to save another’s life and protect people from dying through my work would be a great contribution to the world. I would really like to be able to work in an environment where health is a priority, as well as where organization and thinking help to save lives. Thus my verse would be to go into the medical field, but I especially would foresee myself going into the heart help section of the field, in order to help save lives and help pave the future generations. Added benefits to choosing the verse of the medical field, would be the idea that it will contribute to the world, as when saving lives you preserve ideas, and new innovations come from the ideas of the younger and newer generations that I would be protecting in my field. Thus contributing to the world the safety of healthy living.

“A Slowed Bike”

I see those who bike,

Some bike for speed, other endurance,

Some on mountains, others on roads,

Some alone, others in groups,

I see all those who bike around me differently,

I bike for none of those.

Speed and endurance come with it,

Mountants and roads pass me by,

I bike with others at time, and at others alone,

I bike to not be anywhere else.

I am biking in nature,

I bike through mountains,

Seeing and swerving between each small stone and pebble,

While on roads I dodge and weave rubble and paint,

Yet I still am biking.

I bike with the intent to be biking,

Not for sport,

Not for fun,

But for clarity,

For peace of mind,

For preparedness,

The monetary system of working and saving is the main problem with living out transcendentally on modern day society.

The transcendental ideals of nature, individualism, and independence, all applied within society, would create a positive, and ever-reforming society with total independence and freedom, for its people.
“In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature.”
“Others have the same love in such excess, that, not content with admiring, they seek to embody it in new forms. The creation of beauty is Art.”
“the soul that can Render an honest and a perfect man,”
“He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness.”
“People in Hawaii aren't impressed by where you work, how much money you make or where you live. Instead, they're impressed by how you live,”
“But in Hawaii, the concept of ohana (family) is sacrosanct. By being unapologetic about their priorities, people in Hawaii are able to spend more time with their families,”
The visual i chose is an embodiment of transcendentalism, as it shows a perfect scenario in nature, of social harmony between everything, from the sky, to the water, to the trees, and all the animals living in that environment, similar to what would happen if the ideas of transcendentalism spread and popularized in human society.
