"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)

Caring and Sharing


If you have ever had the impulse to share of your bounty with a mother who has barely the means to care for her children, you will want to see this new website. Amanda Soule has added one more beautiful creation to the world. This time it's a place for caring and sharing.

Thank you to Prato9x for making this photograph available on flickr.
