"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

A Daily Dose of Nature

This is a path not far from our house, near the cliffs that overlook the water. There is something so healing to me about all that green. (And isn't that God shining through in the upper left corner?)

Your blog is such a nice little diversion from everyday doldrums. Thank you for making a pleasant little place for me to escape to.
