"Removing toxic people
from your life
is like breathing
fresh air while
walking alongside
of the ocean."
Marala Scott
"To affect the
quality of the day,
that is the
highest of arts."
Henry David Thoreau
"A lake is a landscape's
most beautiful and
expressive feature.
It is Earth's eye;
looking into which
the beholder measures the
depth of his own nature."
Henry David Thoreau

What an influence
Thoreau had on me
when very young!
My first philosopher.
Making my solitude
and love of nature
a font of virtues.
Then he taught me
to put my thoughts
into words,
to be a writer.
Did you have such
an influence yourself
at a young age?
