Within nature, our minds can roam free and create new thoughts. This quote states that nature is a blank canvas for out minds to fill in while being one with it.]]> 2019-01-30 02:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/325680320 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/325682571 This image describes transcendentalism perfectly. It shows the connectivity between the mind and nature, which is the main message in this philosophy. It shows how the mind is one with nature.]]> 2019-01-30 02:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/325682571 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/325683296 Hakuna Matata-Jimmy Cliff
I think this song explains transcendentalism because its a very lenient philosophy and its very care free. It reminds me of going with the flow, which is the main message of this song.]]> 2019-01-30 02:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/325683296 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/325684538 This article explains what transcendentalism really is. It tells the ins and outs of this philosophy, such as who Thoreau was and how he impacted the world with his lifestyle. The article is very short but is loaded with very good information if you want to know stuff about transcendentalism. ]]> 2019-01-30 02:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/325684538 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326554946 This picture exemplifies transcendentalism by its highlighting of the natural background. By not showing any details of the person, this photo emphasizes the transcendentalistic theme of nature over man.]]> 2019-02-01 03:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326554946 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326698949 The cabin in the woods shows a transcendental theme because one of the main creators, Thoreau, learned the simplistic lifestyle in a cabin like this. He lived a minimalistic life, trying to focus more on his thoughts rather than the stuff he had.]]> 2019-02-01 14:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326698949 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326794131 Man In The Mirror- Michael Jackson
I think Man In The Mirror is a good song to show transcendental thoughts because it’s all about personal growth. Transcendentalism is all about the human mind and developing it to its full potential. These lines in the song show how you need to make a change to become a better person.]]> 2019-02-01 17:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326794131 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326796563 This quote said by Thoreau shows the main thought of transcendentalism. It shows how simplicity in life and the beauty of nature work together to create a better version of yourself if you work towards it.]]> 2019-02-01 17:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326796563 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326798725 I Lived- OneRepublic 
I think this song shows the spontaneous nature of transcendentalism. The lines show how you need to go many places and experience many different things in order to truely live, which is a big message in the transcendentalist thought.]]> 2019-02-01 17:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326798725 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326801596 This quote incorporates nature into the self improvement aspect of transcendentalism. It is saying to go out of your comfort zone to make you learn more a better yourself.]]> 2019-02-01 17:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326801596 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326977052 This quote said by Emerson shows a transcendental thought by showing how the universe is directly connected to us. I shows that everything happens for a reason, and no matter what you decide to do, the universe will make it happen, also known as the Law of Attraction.]]> 2019-02-02 17:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326977052 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326977993 This video, by Koi Fresco, explains what it means to be a transcendentalist and what they believe in. He says things in the video, like"[without]these religious and political upbringings... societies flaws would essentially all disappear" (Fresco). This shows another aspect of what it means to follow transcendentalism.]]> 2019-02-02 18:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326977993 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326979306 This podcast, by Melvyn Bragg and guests, talks about Henry David Thoreau and who he was. Thoreau was a main founder of transcendentalism, and Bragg talks about him and his contributions to this school of thought.]]> 2019-02-02 18:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326979306 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326979880 This article, found on ABC CLIO, gives a biography on who Henry David Thoreau is. It gives information from his early life to his death, and everything in between.

Of course, there is the reason of nature in the photo, but on a deeper level, I think it focuses more on the self reflecting part. The flower is clear and the main focus of the photo, which represents the mind. The background shows the nature and external sources that influence your self improvement.]]> 2019-02-02 19:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326984073 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326985965 This photo was also taken in Israel, and i believe it also could be a good representative for transcendentalism. I think it shows that there is more beyond what you can see, which explains how the mind works and develops. Under the clouds, there are many buildings that are unseen, which shows that there is potential that is just not found yet in our minds. ]]> 2019-02-02 19:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/326985965 mrgngarrett https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/327152544 The Search- James Russell Lowell
"I went to seek for Christ, 
And Nature seemed so fair
That first the woods and fields my youth enticed, 
And I was sure to find him there" (Lowell). I think this quote represents transcendentalism because it links religion and nature together as one, saying you need one to find the other. It says that he will find Christ in the woods, which shows how they are connected.]]> 2019-02-04 03:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mrgngarrett/offftoen5l3g/wish/327152544
