He speaks a lot of truth about wildness and nature. He’s also really conceited. Oh for the leisure and physical health to walk in nature four hours a day! /end

Book 58 of 2026 - Walking by Henry David Thoreau. Dude is confused — “the white man is the best, westward expansion is progress, but how do those guys with jobs not kill themselves? Wildness is the way” — never seeing the inherent contradiction. #BookSky #Nature #Thoreau #Wildness 1/2

“We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep.”
— Henry David Thoreau, *Walden*

Here is how alone I am. There is no soul in my life for me to discuss the latest #kenburns documentary on #Thoreau. Not one person in my life.

There's a moment in the Thoreau doc where the directors put in the sound of an iphone makes when it gets a message and my body shuddered.
Put your phone down and touch grass and/or watch the PBS Thoreau doc tonight (after you read my interview with the director, of course). #thoreau

Now comes good sailing: sheets filled, water curling from the bow, heeling to the wind, sun glinting on white foam, and no need to return to land. But maybe I shall miss the land: the shadowed forests and the endless plains, moose, bison, caribou, bear, wolf, and mountain lion, and the ghosts of cultures fading from ancestral grounds, nobility displaced by politics, Abenaki, Passamaquoddy, Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq, and Penobscot — now just Indian. No, no, I’ll take to water, steer a course by sun and stars to where there is no you or I, but just the sea reflecting sky in rolling waves.
"Henry David Thoreau".
from "Last Words" - a sequence of poems each starting with the last words (sometimes apocryphal) of a well-known person. (Note in Comments.)

Highly recommend watching the Ken Burns produced doc Henry David Thoreau no matter what your feelings on Thoreau, nature, or docs.
It sticks with you (complementary).
I interviewed directors Erik & Chris Ewers about it. Read it. #Thoreau #pbs #tubetalkmedia

Can't wait to see this. "Henry David Thoreau helped define modern environmentalism and nonviolent resistance, yet his life has been obscured by myth. The author of Walden and Civil Disobedience, he was brilliant but flawed, idealistic but opinionated." #UU #UUA #Minimalism #Thoreau #Nature #Nature

Quote from the book The Pocket Thoreau: by the attrition, is reflected upon the bank! We fancy that this din of religion, literature, and phi-losophy, which is heard in pulpits, lyceums, and parlors, vibrates through the universe, and is as catholic a sound as the creaking of the earth's axle; but if a man sleep soundly, he will forget it all between sunset and dawn. It is the three-inch swing of a pendulum in a cupboard, which the great pulse of nature vibrates by and through each instant. When we lift our eyelids and open our ears, it disappears with smoke and rattle like the cars on a railroad. When I detect a beauty in any of the recesses of nature, I am reminded, by the serene and retired spirit in which it requires to be contemplated, of the inexpressible privacy of a life—how silent and unambi-tious it is. The beauty there is in mosses must be con-

Book cover for "Wildness" by Lydia Willsky-Ciollo. Line of trees in watercolor style. Background repeats trees with text: "'A rich, comprehensive, even lyrical introduction to Thoreau and Transcendentalism.' --Laura Dassow Walls, author of Henry David Thoreau"
"WILDNESS is an impressive achievement. Willsky-Ciollo’s account is at once richly researched and written with real passion... a compelling case for #Thoreau as Nature’s apostle, a prophet calling us to the #Wild." ~John J. Kucich #Theology

Image of a quiet forest with tall trees and soft sunlight filtering through the leaves, illuminating a path on the forest floor. Overlaid text reads: “I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.” — Henry David Thoreau. Humanism Church logo appears at the bottom left, and the text “humanism.church” appears at the bottom right.
Solitude doesn't have to be lonely. To be alone with one's own thoughts can be fulfilling and even rejuvenating. It's also a place where we're truly free to be ourselves without pretense. #Philosophy #Thoreau #Humanism #HumanismChurch

Read not the Times. Read the Eternities. Conventionalities are at length as bad as impurities. Even the facts of science may dust the mind by their dryness, unless they are in a sense effaced each morning, or rather rendered fertile by the dews of fresh and living truth.
- Henry David #Thoreau
