Natures expressions and minds expressions mirror each other.

He didn't have to do this on purpose, it just happens naturally.


The Ponds

Thoreau always wants to call us back to the humble, down to earth parts of nature... while Emerson is always quite up in the clouds.

We will once again go outside to check it out and talk about it.


Monday I went outside and walked around, listened to construction, went to an apple/ red thing tree, and then went and talked to two guys under a tree.

Now we go out again.

This time we go to the pond, and I am once again dissapointed by this type of nature they try to provide us here. The duck pond has been messed with to many times, its right next to a major road way... I know of many who have hit these ducks in vehicles.

This dissapoints me more than the other day when all I could hear was the sounds of angry machinery... this is a sad way for anything to live, but I suppose they're fat and happy from all the college kids who come feed them. They just don't know any better. I don't think we know any better either.
