My hashtag came from how I live my life, which is freely. I don’t care what people say, think, or do because at the end of the day I do me and that’s how it’s always going to be. I also think about it this way; at the end of the day people come and go so it’s just me and the world, thus it’s just me and nature and nature has allowed me to live freely so I don’t plan on taking that for granted.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/chick-fil-a-anti-gay/

When looking at the huffington post article on the chick-fil-a anti-gay issue, we see three major tenets of transcendental thought. The first one we see is nonconformity in the quote that states, “When talking about not supporting gay marriage the company responded with, “Well, guilty as charged.”” Even though almost everyone was criticizing their opinion they still stood by it and that is part of the transcendental tenet of social reform. Another tenet we see shown is free thought which is shown in the statement, “But as a business we can operate on biblical principles. They also don’t support gay marriage.” This shows free thought because they are taking a very controversial topic and siding with something such as the bible. One of the last tenets I caught was confidence/self confidence. This was showed when the company said. “We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but we can share our values and operate on biblical purposes.” This shows that they are very confident in what they believe in and that they will not change their mind any time soon.

The running streams of water

rushing through the rocks and then crashing down.

The chill of the waterfall freezes the tops of my fingers and

on my skin as the water beats down on my goosebumps.

There's nothing like it in the world.

Standing underneath a waterfall,

I hug the wall of stone and feel the cold slimy surface

and my hands run through the moss growing on the side.

The core of my heart

where living waters flow.

My verse will be “live everyday to the fullest”. I grew up listening to this verse/phrase because my mom especially strongly stands by it and I do too. School and everything is obviously very important but sometimes humans need to take a step back and just take in nature and everything good around them and make sure we all have fun and go out. I think this will help me contribute a positive personality and atmosphere to this world because one happy person can make a million sad people happy.

Also connects with the "O Me! O Life!" poem.

“Nature never wears a mean appearance. Neither does the wisest man extort her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection.” (Paragraph 2)

This quote stood out to me because people always talk about how nature is nothing and how nature does and shoes nothing but little do we know that nature acts just like us all day everyday. This quote relates to today’s society because because people are seeing that nature is just like us and that if anything we should not wear a mean appearance just like nature does.

“We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep.” (Paragraph 2)

This quote stood out to me because I think people need to get up everyday and look at what life has given you and not wake up because you have to or wake up and feel stressed right away because everyone has a lot of going on. This quote applies to today’s society because it shows that there is a change that’s needed and that change is slowly but surely going to happen.
