- Henry David Thoreau

This visual represents the awakening of oneself, initiating that one should always be awake from the rise of dawn and to the aspects of nature, instead of the aspect of machinery.

- Henry David Thoreau 

This visual exemplifies the tenet of Individuality and the traits of freedom that nature predominantly gives.]]> 2022-10-19 00:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2346066760 1C: Quote: - "Nature" 3589442 https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2346082204 "Standing on the bare ground, — my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, — all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God."

- Henry David Thoreau 

Nature tends to give oneself a more clear feeling and connection towards God, and creates a disappearance from cruel reality.]]> 2022-10-19 00:42:06 UTC https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2346082204 1D: Quote - "Beauty" 3589442 https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2347689853 "Nature is a sea of forms radically alike and even unique. A leaf, a sunbeam, a landscape, or the ocean, make an analogous impression on the mind. What is common to them all, — that perfectness and harmony, is beauty."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beauty in nature is compared to all of its characteristics, which matches its abstract of human nature and its perfectness, they lay upon their beauty in different forms upon themselves in the term of nature. ]]> 2022-10-19 19:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2347689853 1E: Quote - "Self-Reliance" 3589442 https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2347801910 "To believe your own thoughts, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense... a man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

One should always stick to their own thoughts and beliefs, this picture provides a visual representation of Individuality and how somehow should always find their own path instead of following someone else.

Oh Life!" (Walt Whitman), the author talks about how modernization in the new world has come to construct monstrosity for humankind and the welfare of society. In this poem, I was struck by how the author interprets society as faithless and foolish for what had been created, as it is true. As Whitman had advised us in the end, it made me feel empathetic in a way to know that we still have a chance of living a life with meaning and purpose. ]]> 2022-10-20 04:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2348340148 2B: Dead Poets Society 3589442 https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2348353616 Following your passion, in which following your own heart and choices that you decide.]]> 2022-10-20 04:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2348353616 3: Declaration of Self 3589442 https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2348383158 In this song of life, my verse is to protect our world from the misconduct it receives, what i can do now is what counts for our future. I will become a Doctor, to not only heal, but to give and to teach people the actual needs of life, to experience nature, to help nature, and to nurture life how it is supposed to be cared for. I will help heal society by the means of living a fully transcendent life. ]]> 2022-10-20 05:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2348383158 4: Inclination 3589442 https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2349794182 -As the sun sets down, I'm on my way
-And as I look it is to say
-Nature as it seems is beautifully made
-One Quick look and I'm fulfilled
-To those that see have these chills 
-A part of society it is not seen
-But once it is processed it is now clean
-That nature is beautiful with simplicity
-I have my part, and it is to care
-To keep our sacred nature without despair

(This is my art)

Look at what we've done
...did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores 
What about apathy?
What about natures worth?
What about the common man?
Can we set him free?
Do we give a damn?

- "Earth Song" By Michael Jackson 

To care for nature is to become one with nature, paying less attention to its importance helps fade our existence to a transcendent life.

This visual represents humans in society who take part in transcendentalism, people who are individuals and are apart from society, they show fulfillment to transcend. ]]> 2022-10-22 22:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2351954141 7B: Picture #2 3589442 https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2351959445 Laying with nature can also be transcendent!]]> 2022-10-22 22:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2351959445 7C: Picture #3 3589442 https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2351959875 My pathway to a world so green. ]]> 2022-10-22 22:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/3589442/caqxhqbizb85o3in/wish/2351959875
