"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)

Blog Site Updated--Yes, Again

For those of you catching my posts at Google Reader, I've changed my blog again. (Yes, again.) Please come by and see the new sidebar photos. One is an especially nice one by a new photographer in Tacoma.

(For those of you not yet using Google Reader, I tell you, it's the only way to go.)
