This quote also pertains to the idea of being self reliant and working for yourself to make decisions and act upon them with the support and backing of the universal mind and the ultimate intelligence. ]]> 2019-01-28 23:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/325194810 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/325214280 This painting of a quaint little town with Cthulhu watching over the townspeople relates to transcendentalism through the idea of the over soul and universal mind. Cthulhu is an "elder being"' according to H. P. Lovecraft, which is symbolic of the over soul and one's separate lifeline. Cthulhu is an universal mind and is representative of the rest of the world. ]]> 2019-01-29 01:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/325214280 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/325215755 "What a Wonderful World" is  a song about transcendentalism and being closer with nature and transcending the struggles of life. one lyric 
"Well, I see trees of green and red roses too
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world" is exemplary because is talks about nature and the amazing world surrounding us. Also the lyric 
"Someday, I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me" 
also talks about transcending your everyday struggles somewhere in the future to move on and live more simply without your troubles. ]]> 2019-01-29 01:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/325215755 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/326055664 This picture of a person looking at the milky way is symbolic of the push for self reliance in the transcendentalism movement; for people to go off on their own, like Thoreau and live life simply with no distractions or trappings of lavish lifestyle to truly become one with nature. It also relates to the notion of the over soul and universal mind, of there being something out there more than just us, and it transcending modern thinking. ]]> 2019-01-30 21:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/326055664 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328517283 This is a photo of Minnie Haha Falls in Rayburn County, Georgia. This waterfall is one of my favorite places. i love climbing to the top of the falls, especially since I'm scared of heights. The breathtaking natural beauty of this well hidden waterfall is difficult to climb but the climb is worth the view. Reaching the top feels like I'm on top of the world, transcending the rest of the world's standards and truly relying on myself and no one but myself to safely reach the top. ]]> 2019-02-06 22:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328517283 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328521716 "Love Story" by Taylor Swift is about teenage love and rebellion. One of the main concepts is being unique and true to oneself, being a true individual diverging from the set path as in the lyrics
"So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me, I was begging you, please, don't go"
exemplifies the fact that the couple is not welcome but they chose to do their own thing instead of pay attention the rest of society.]]> 2019-02-06 22:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328521716 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328523666 This quote by Henry David Thoreau exemplifies the transcendentalistic idea of being self reliant. In this quote Thoreau is also encouraging people to transcend the idea of being just good but he wants them to aim for better things.]]> 2019-02-06 22:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328523666 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328525380 This poem by transcendentalist poet Emily Dickinson has themes of simplicity. In the poem she states that shes nobody relying on undertones of just needing basic necessities not even a name. She also uses the theme of nonconformity by not having a name or "being somebody" like the rest of the population. ]]> 2019-02-06 22:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328525380 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328527675 This is a picture of me, after I dyed my hair brught red to spite my family and society. I wanted to truly transcend the grips of society and be a true nonconformist, like most teenagers, by expressing myself. It was also the first time I dyed my hair all by myself with no help from anyone else. I was proud of myself for shedding the bonds of this society and, in my opinion, proving I could be self reliant and responsible. ]]> 2019-02-06 22:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328527675 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528537 This podcast with nature specialist, Chris Hauth, is all about being one with nature and the idea of the over soul. These two men talk about the idea of a higher power creating everything and about being one with everything and truly being in tune with the surrounding world and i think that truly exemplifies the main ideas of the transcendentalist movement. ]]> 2019-02-06 22:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528537 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528554 In this image people are claiming to be nonconforming and unique but in reality they are just like everyone else. They shame the one person willing to actually be unique and actually be them self among a group of fakers. This singular person is seemingly transcendent above the rest of the herd and has his head firmly on his shoulders instead of having it up in the clouds like everyone else apparently does. ]]> 2019-02-06 22:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528554 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528587 This TEDtalk by Lisa Bodell is all about how much we need to simplify our life to be a more productive innovator. This ties into the transcendentalist idea of simplicity and just having the bare necessities. This TEDtalk is all about improving oneself by having less stress in your life, the more modern way to be a transcendentalist through removing more cyber centric things rather than actual materials.]]> 2019-02-06 22:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528587 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528612 This article by Nina Patel is all about the new tiny house movement. This movement is all about the simplification of life and only keeping the bare necessities, often times in an attempt to lighten the load before the owner goes on a trip of a lifetime. This movement is very interconnected the transcendentalist movement through the simplification of things and the removal of all things that could be a burden to make it easier for a person to find themselves in the world. ]]> 2019-02-06 22:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528612 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528663 "Dreams" by Van Halen features many transcendentalist ideas. One such idea is exemplified through the particular lyric
"We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind"
truly expresses the idea of transcending. Another lyric is
"And in the end on dreams we will depend
'Cause that's what love is made of"
which is about being reliant on yourself and having an intuition on which you can depend. ]]> 2019-02-06 22:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528663 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528702 This article featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution is all about modern younger generations simplifying and rejecting conformity. They are removing traditional wedding bands in favor of something they like, refusing to go with the flow and doing their own thing. They are also simplifying by cutting back on the past on something they believe is an outdated tradition. Simplifying this tradition and changing it is very transcendentalist of this specific generation. ]]> 2019-02-06 22:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528702 sabrina_gelarden https://padlet.com/sabrina_gelarden/_transcendentalism_for_cool_kids_/wish/328528771 This quote by Henry David Thoreau is about being self reliant and intuitive, learning for yourself and about yourself.
