There's something almost mischievous about a field like this cosmos flowers spilling over an old wooden fence while the sun climbs through the mist.
"The earth laughs in flowers." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Emerson wrote this in Hamatreya, a poem about how fleeting our claims to land and legacy really are; while the earth itself just keeps blooming, indifferent to who "owns" it.

Today's reflection from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience."
Emerson wrote this as part of his broader Transcendentalist vision, the idea that nature is not just scenery, but a teacher. A mirror. A model for how to live. In nature, there is no rushing. There is no falling behind.

Tenant Farmer
The discussion examines Andrew Wyeth's artwork, focusing on "Tenant Farmer" and its misinterpretation through an Emersonian lens. Critics struggle to appreciate Wyeth's psychological depth, mistaking it for regionalism. Close visual analysis highlights ambiguity in themes of decay and haunting rather than simplistic readings of nature and transcendentalism.

“So-called communal living is not new in America… the American intellectuals were inspired by the utopian socialists to build their ‘communes’ at the very moment when the Abolitionists were trying to show them that association with the blacks is the only ‘transcendental’ gesture that meets the challenge of the times." - Raya Dunayevskaya

Reading about Mule Days in County Highway and the article mentioned 3Mules.com:
“Who are we? We are the Mules. Where are we from? We are from the outside. We live outside all day, every day. Where are we going? Nowhere. We’re here: the outside, the web of life, the beautiful earth, a place like no other.” https://3mules.com #mules #conservation #Transcendentalism

...All the techniques Thoreau advances in Wild Fruits are perfectly ordinary and would not raise a ripple, though they might at first raise a few eyebrows: Take a walk; bring the kids; invite the neighbors. Share the work; share the pleasures, too. What kind of community will bring the world of Wild Fruits into being? What kind of community will those wild fruits in turn sustain?"

"If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law."

these are the simple experiments that have direct results i love.
we have a spiritual connection through it to the earth which has been cut by urbanization.
Have you seen/read #FightClub recently? I never go long without churning thoughts on the little philosophical tokens woven throughout it.
Austerity--poverty, too--can play springboard to #clarity & more resourcefulness--even re-connection to aspects of living.
It is very much a mirror of #Thoreau. (Or in fairness, #transcendentalism anticipated Fight Club.) But it's there still, & perhaps best, in the words of Thoreau:
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,..."
