I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world"
-Louis Armstrong
The song is about appreciating things as they currently are. This fits the transcendentalism because simplicity is the act of accepting what you already have and not worry about what you want. By explaining what a wonderful place the world is, Louis Armstrong truly appreciates his surroundings and doesn't worry about his wants.

In one scenario, The leaves are the oversoul, looking over the valley watching his creation of nature. The next form of transcendentalism in this picture is simplicity. The tree with the hole in the center could also mean that a person is simplifying himself to focus the simple aspects of life by being more connected with nature, which in this case is the hole in the center of the tree.]]> 2019-01-29 01:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/325207145 Quote 1 (Emerson) fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/325207228 "It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

This quote comes straight from emerson's mind. It explains that the greatest man will not live on what he wants and cannot have. Instead, he will live on the absolute essentials for surviving and living in life. However, the quote talks about solitutde, which is also about simplicity.]]> 2019-01-29 01:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/325207228 Song 2 fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327072805 Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

-Here comes the Sun by the Beatles
This song is about how the Sun acts as the Oversoul. As it rises into the sky, it makes everyone in the song smile. It tells transcendentalists not to worry about the future or something that could stress you out. It means take the good things out of the bad outcomes. We read this in the Thoreau book when Henry walked with Edward in the huckleberry field.

Take away everything and make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth
And now you see the light, you stand up for your rights"
-Get up, Stand up By Bob Marley
This song explains again, the Oversoul of the world. In this case, God is taking care of the world and telling everyone to stand up for themselves. This is also what Henry was trying to teach to his students before he was put in jail.]]> 2019-02-03 17:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327076282 Image 2 fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327080326 This image shows transcendentalism because the man is using the branches to express how simple life can be by connecting with nature. Its almost as if he is conjoining half of himself with nature, in this case the branches, to become more spiritually aware of simplicity.
Also, he could be represented as the oversoul since he is looking down at the branches and into the deep cloud abyss.]]> 2019-02-03 17:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327080326 Image 3 fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327080921 This image completely overhauls the idea of the oversoul. The oversoul in this picture identifies as a form of mother nature watching over her animals and plants. This gives the viewer an extremely accurate idea of what a transcendental Oversoul is and how it portrays itself.]]> 2019-02-03 17:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327080921 Podcast fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327081254
The podcast chosen is Walden & the Natural World of Transcendentalism. The podcast is about a tourist visiting the pond where Henry David wrote his first book, will following a dressed up Henry David as his tour guide. Henry David is explaining what Transcendentalism actually is. He tells the tourist to envision transcendentalism as a saw through the sky and the ground. To see it as a split between nature and society. This easily is a great podcast because it implements every form of transcendentalism into one idea. ]]> 2019-02-03 17:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327081254 Video Source fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327089293 The video describes a Summary about the life of Waldo Emerson. It explains the meaning of his essay called self reliance, and all of the concepts of transcendentalism in it. Such as, individualism, nonconformity, and intuition. After looking at his essay, the video describes how the original group of transcendentalists came up with their idea. It explains the meaning of transcendentalism and how it unites oneself with the oversoul.]]> 2019-02-03 18:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327089293 Quote 2 (Thoreau) fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327089869 "An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day."
-Henry David Thoreau

This quote exemplifies Thoreau's idea on the pureness of the individual (Self-Reliance). He says this quote because living on the bare necessities in life teaches a person to respect him or herself more. Thats why he says going on a nature walk is the best thing for you.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

This quote is emphasizing the point of nonconformity. It explains how an individual should not be controlled by anyone else but himself. According to Emerson, as long as you live a life not being controlled by everyone, you can forever be happy.]]> 2019-02-03 20:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327102530 Quote 4 (Alcott) fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327106897 "The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence."
-Amos Bronson Alcott

Bronson Alcott is trying to teach us the idea of intuition in transcendentalism. He explains that a teacher must understand what he or she is teaching to their students immediately rather than later. If the teacher accomplishes this goal, he or she can influence their students to take on intuition about their own struggles in life. Learning something immediately is extremely beneficial in the real world because it will make you more reliable in tight and stress-full situations.]]> 2019-02-03 20:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327106897 Poem-Christopher Pearse Cranch fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327107864 Poems of Sentiment describes man's one self in individualism. It describes the scenes of nature such as "starts that gem the sky." However, there is a reason behind why he talks about the scenes of nature. It is because nature helps an individual think more clearly, rather than trying to think critically in a city or town. Individualizing oneself and thinking critically in a peaceful place such as the woods can allow you to achieve peace or happiness.

It is of the sunrise between two mountains with one road going down it. I used water color paint and the splash painting method to create this. This is transcendentalism because it depicts the single path (individualism) to the true meaning of what life is supposed to be. The oversoul (the sun) is watching over the single path (the road) and is making sure the individual is following it correctly the whole way.]]> 2019-02-03 21:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327115431 Original Artwork 2 fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327116640 This is an original photo I took of a stand-alone tree in front of the sunset. It describes the simplicity of what life could be if we as individuals take our time to appreciate what we have. This photo describes that because if we take the time to see past our obstacles (the tree) and see only the bare necessities of life then we will reach eternal peace (the sun).]]> 2019-02-03 22:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327116640 Article 1 fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327125872 This article describes events that you can do during the year in order to make yourself happier. One is to let go of your wants and look at what you already have. This is the idea of Transcendence. The article helps describe that leaving your wants will help you become focused on a more spiritual point of view on life rather than the reality of society.]]> 2019-02-03 23:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327125872 Article 2 fearthespear2001 https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327129643 In this article, scientists reveal how envolving yourself with nature can lead to eternal peace. This is Transcendence again. Putting yourself with nature and temporarily putting your mind in a peaceful state is what Transcendentalism is all about. This means that you can put others before yourself, since you are spiritually aware of your surroundings after conjoining yourself with nature.]]> 2019-02-03 23:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/fearthespear2001/z1rwfb072jfz/wish/327129643
