Reminds me of the summer days when all of the windows are down, the volume of the music playing all the way up, a breathtaking view of our beautiful world, and a map with a bunch of different places to visit, but not knowing where to at the moment. During these adventures I learn new things about myself. I learned that I cherish these memories because I feel peaceful, like a therapeutic way to let go of stress. I feel as if I am a part of nature. I feel self reliance because with that map I am able to travel anywhere, my choice. What makes this picture transcendental are the beautiful woods. There isn't much, no houses, and not very many people; just peace.]]> 2017-09-28 17:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/0802177/Transcendentalismpadlet/wish/192179984 0802177 https://padlet.com/0802177/Transcendentalismpadlet/wish/192299071   Ralph Waldo Emerson best articulates the idea that spiritual well-being is more important than ones social well-being. In both of his essays "Self-Reliance"and "Nature" Emerson celebrates the idea that people should experience the meaning in life through a connection with themselves, art, and nature. 
  According to Emerson in his essay Nature " I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal being circulate through me;"(365). Emerson describes how he spiritually connects with the "Universal being" through them whenever he's in touch with nature. In Emerson's essay Self-Reliance he says "Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have suffrage of the world"(360). The author is explaining that connecting with yourself helps you become accepted and comfortable with yourself. These two quotes by essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson describe the definition of spiritual well being, which explain how Emerson spiritually connects to nature to find a true meaning in life.
