https://padlet.com/elijahdb1/gg422giwq7sf Made with the help of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau en-us 2016-12-22 21:52:35 UTC 2023-04-11 21:57:35 UTC hello@padlet.com elijahdb1 https://padlet.com/elijahdb1/gg422giwq7sf/wish/144721433 I chose this song because I think it goes along very nicely with the nature that Thoreau wrote about in Walden. 
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential
facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die,
discover that I had not lived" (Walden 1)]]> 2016-12-22 22:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahdb1/gg422giwq7sf/wish/144721433 elijahdb1 https://padlet.com/elijahdb1/gg422giwq7sf/wish/144722937 "My life is for itself and not for a spectacle" (Emerson)
Emerson was trying to make us see that your life is for you to live, not for something to be broadcasted. It was kind of hard to make a direct connection to this so I decided to show you the complete opposite of what Emerson was talking about.]]> 2016-12-22 23:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahdb1/gg422giwq7sf/wish/144722937 elijahdb1 https://padlet.com/elijahdb1/gg422giwq7sf/wish/144723255 Transcendentalism is the idea that intuition and the thoughts the define us as people don't or shouldn't some from society, a priest, or even our parents. Transcendentalists believe that to find the answers to some of life's most important questions, you must go out and experience things and have original thoughts, thoughts that make you understand yourself and life. They believe in these key beliefs: Nature=God, God is omnipresent, Man is divine, intuition, self-reliance, society is the source of corruption, idealism, materialism is bad, technology is bad, and they believe in an importance of the hear and now. A simple way to put it is to say that through our natural intuition and nature we find God and ourselves.]]> 2016-12-23 00:04:56 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahdb1/gg422giwq7sf/wish/144723255 elijahdb1 https://padlet.com/elijahdb1/gg422giwq7sf/wish/144723536 Here is just a picture of a turtle because Nature is beautiful and turtles are my favorite animal.]]> 2016-12-23 00:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahdb1/gg422giwq7sf/wish/144723536
