Do you need to relax? Do you need to take your mind off the daily hustle and bustle…Thoreau has what you need…
I’m generally not a green, back to nature kind of fellow…but
when it comes to finding a book that makes me want to meld with the forest and
start talking to the trees…this is the winner.
Published in 1854, the book took a while to catch on…meaning
it did not do well on its first crack out of the bag. Thoreau’s book is a compression of two years,
two months and two days spent living on a secluded pond out in the woods. He built the cabin he resided in and embarked
on a deep journey of self-exploration.
In this case, what he produced is nothing short of an opium den for the
soul. It makes me want to build a log
cabin out in the middle of nowhere and contemplate my navel…if only my job
didn’t get in the way. I guess I’ll have
to settle for the book. See you in two, and
two…and two.
