“I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it.”

DIE KUNST ZU LEBEN MIT WENIGER: Das RADIKALE PROJEKT von Henry David Thoreau – Von Jenseits des Geistes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fPJzmAB2LE
In einer Welt, die uns ständig dazu drängt, mehr zu besitzen – mehr Geld, mehr Erfolg, mehr Aufmerksamkeit –, stellt dieses Video eine kraftvolle Gegenfrage: Was wäre, wenn wahre Freiheit entsteht, wenn wir lernen, weniger zu brauchen? Inspiriert vom Philosophen Henry David Thoreau, der 1845 in eine selbstgebaute Hütte am Walden-See zog, beleuchtet dieses Video die zeitlose Weisheit eines Lebens mit weniger Ballast. Thoreau lebte radikale Einfachheit, nicht aus Entbehrung, sondern aus innerer Klarheit.

Drive a nail home and clinch it so faithfully that you can wake up in the night and think of your work with satisfaction, — a work at which you would not be ashamed to invoke the Muse.

2/ As I stand over the insect crawling amid the pine needles on the forest floor, and endeavoring to conceal itself from my sight, and ask myself why it will cherish those humble thoughts, and hide its head from me who might, perhaps, be its benefactor, and impart to its race some cheering information, I am reminded of the greater Benefactor and Intelligence that stands over me the human insect.”

"...and yet he had rated it as a gain in coming to America, that here you could get tea, and coffee, and meat every day. But the only true America is that country where you are at liberty to pursue such a mode of life as may enable you to do without these, and where the state does not endeavor to compel you to sustain the slavery and war and other superfluous expenses which directly or indirectly result from the use of such things."
-
"I did not use tea, nor coffee, nor butter, nor milk, nor fresh meat, and so did not have to work to get them; again, as I did not work hard, I did not have to eat hard, and it cost me but a trifle for my food; but as he began with tea, and coffee, and butter, and milk, and beef, he had to work hard to pay for them, and when he had worked hard he had to eat hard again to repair the waste of his system"

Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Sun rays and dark clouds over Walden Pond. #concordma #walden.
-
“I had three pieces of limestone on my desk, but I was terrified to find that they required to be dusted daily, when the furniture of my mind was all undusted still, and I threw them out the window in disgust. How, then, could I have a furnished house? I would rather sit in the open air, for no dust gathers on the grass, unless where man has broken ground.”
-
“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life, as from that dry and parching wind of the African deserts called the simoom, which fills the mouth and nose and ears and eyes with dust till you are suffocated, for fear that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood. No,—in this case I would rather suffer evil the natural way.”
-
I am in the process of moving and immediately thought of this passage from Walden after some of my effects congregated outside:
“It was pleasant to see my whole household effects out on the grass… They seemed glad to get out themselves, and as if unwilling to be brought in… It was worth the while to see the sun shine on these things, and hear the free wind blow on them; so much more interesting most familiar objects look out of doors than in the house.“
-
3/ I grew in those seasons like corn in the night, and they were far better than any work of the hands would have been. They were not time subtracted from my life, but so much over and above my usual allowance.”
-
2/ Almost the same johnswort springs from the same perennial root in this pasture, and even I have at length helped to clothe that fabulous landscape of my infant dreams, and one of the results of my presence and influence is seen in these bean leaves, corn blades, and potato vines.”

So Far Gone
July 2, 2025SO FAR GONE rating: four stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐.
I love the concept of SO FAR GONE by Jess Walter (HarperCollins, June 10, 2025). In 2016, former writer and journalist Rhys Kinnick pitches his smartphone out of his car window, drives to 40 acres in Northwest Washington State (where his grandfather left a cinderblock dwelling now inhabited by raccoons), and ekes out a sort-of-WALDEN-like existence off the grid–if Thoreau had Spokane neighbors who became good friends (they would have been Massachusett, in Thoreau’s case) and gone grocery shopping.1Actually, according to this New Yorker piece by Kathryn Shultz, “The Moral Judgments of Henry David Thoreau” (October 12, 2015), Walden Pond was an easy walk to Thoreau’s mother’s house, he dined regularly with friends, he played the host himself, and his sisters brought him food, so if there had been a grid to be on in 1845-47, Thoreau would have been on it, all the while moralizing against it.
Kinnick’s daughter Bethany is married to a Christian nationalist conspiracy theorist named Shane, whom Rhys punches in the face at Thanksgiving dinner. This rash decision, plus the 2016 election, are factors in Rhys’s decision to go and live as a near hermit. He has no friends, and his family, he supposes, do not need him. The world has no more use for him at all. If I had 40 acres I’d be tempted to throw my phone out the window and go live off the grid too, but could not because of my family, which is kind of the point. But the insanity of today’s ultra-connected and distracted world, and the alienation from the natural world, is also the point. People need each other, no matter how messed up the world we inhabit. Even if we are introverts, curmudgeons, iconoclasts, and fed up to the teeth with it all.
As our hero learns when, eight years after his disappearance, his two grandchildren show up on his doorstep in the company of a neighbor and report that his daughter Bethany has disappeared. Now what?
The author did his research on Christian Nationalism. Wacko men’s retreats,2here is a retreat light on the Bible study and heavy on shooting guns. betrothals of children to adults, forced conversion therapy of boys and men who don’t even think they are gay, demands for women to unconditionally submit to their husbands,3 I recommend the amazing memoir A WELL-TRAINED WIFE by Tia Levings about which I blogged on 3/11/2024 if you want to know where total submission can lead. completely unhinged conspiracy theories. . .as someone who came out of this deranged culture in 2001, all of this tracks.
I was a bit skeptical of the reason the author provides for Shane’s descent into madness. It’s possible that fear drives people into extremist right wing cults, but in my case, in 1990 I really wanted to make God happy and do religion “correctly”–get everything precisely right. Okay, so maybe it was my fear. I wanted a big family that God was extremely happy with, that would be absolutely safe from harm and evil. I wanted to WIN. Which is not the point of the Christian faith at all.4For more on this if you’re interested, check out NOT IN IT TO WIN IT by Andy Stanley which I just loaned to my priest.
This book would make a wonderful series. Great characters, zany road trip adventures, a hilarious detective, ecology. The rootedness of the novel in a specific place was charming; the author is based in Spokane. It reminded me of MOTHER-DAUGHTER MURDER NIGHT by Nina Simon in that way, set lovingly in the author’s stomping grounds.5 See my blog of August 2, 2023 on Simon’s novel. It’s deeply ironic too: any extreme form of escape from healthy interrelationships is “so far gone,” whether in a cabin all alone or in a compound full of zealots.
Reading in context:
Other books in which children end up with grownups other than their parents and mutual transformation occurs: THE GOOD LORD BIRD by James McBride (Penguin Random House, 2013) TRUE GRIT by Charles Portis (Simon & Schuster 1968), NEWS OF THE WORLD by Paulette Jiles (HarperCollins, 2016), and several children’s classics. The ability of the children to change their grandfather and vice versa in a natural setting was not given enough pages in my opinion, which is the only reason this is not a five-star book.
The only other book I’ve read by Jess Walter is BEAUTIFUL RUINS which my LibraryThing shelf says I finished on March 1, 2013. I ate it all up, gave it 4 stars, and have a copy in my home collection.
What I’m reading now:
I just finished F*CKED UP FAIRY TALES by Liz Gotauco (W. W. Norton & Company, October 2025) and there is a podcast! Good thing too, because I am sad that the book is over.

A Short History Of The #WholeEarthCatalog
Dan
July 5, 2020"Who remembers the Whole Earth Catalog? Anyone?
"For some, the Whole Earth Catalog was the bible for all things green and #ecofriendly, #offgrid, #BackToNature, and #enviromentally conscious and #sustainable.
"If you think environmentalism is a new phenomenon you’d be wrong.
"The seeds of the movement were planted with the writings of #JohnMuir in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But perhaps, even more so by the publication in 1854 of #HenryDavidThoreau’s influential masterpiece #Walden.
"The modern environmental movement can arguably be traced back to the publication of #RachelCarson’s classic #SilentSpring in 1962.
"One of the major rallying points for the eco-movement was concern for the #pollution of the Great Lakes.
[...]
"As John Markoff, a technology writer for the New York Times, told the Guardian, the Whole Earth Catalog was 'the internet before the internet. It was the book of the future. It was a web in newsprint.'"

Now reading #IntoTheWild. Loved the film but never got around to the book. #JonKrakauer is rightfully ambivalent about Chris’s wide-eyed, solipsistic, nature-mania but also clearly wants to get to talking about himself, which feels a touch invasive… still, he writes well & there’s lots of quotes from #Walden which fits my current location #travel #alaska #bookstadon
