Henry David Thoreau

I think Henry David Thoreau got a lot of things right

A quote about living at Walden Pond:

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

I think we all need to metaphorically go to the woods to learn what we may of the truth.

Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity

Beautiful
