A Winter Walk with Thoreau Amidst the noise of daily societal life, Henry David Thoreau points out the hidden poetry and introspective richness found in winter's quiet landscapes. Describing Thoreau's 1843 meditation titled, "A Winter Walk," Maria Popova illustrates: "Twenty-five year-old Thoreau awakens to a snow-covered wonderland and marvels at the splendor -- a singularly earthly splendor -- of a world reborn." His metaphors paint a serene picture of snow-covered landscapes that embrace stillness, mirroring something infinite within. With every step into the winter woods, he finds connection and clarity, and his reflections are a timeless call to "re-ally ourselves to nature every day." Thoreau timelessly reminds us that winter offers a chance for personal renewal and a deeper connection to the natural world, reinforcing that within the chill lies a profound "inner warmth". | Be The Change Take an agendaless walk in nature, giving yourself time to soak in your natural surroundings. | |
