“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #3
When reading Emerson and Thoreau it really did make me think about things. I never thought of never really being in nature. There are few times in my life so far that I have really experienced nature. I always thought nature was all around us but now I feel as if there are few places that are really about nature. As for walking, I never thought about walking in that kind of way. In that way walking isn't something everyone does. Walking is for those that can really appreciate life and the beauty of nature. For those that really stop to think about life and the beauty of it. This whole class is starting to really make me rethink how I am living, in a good positive way.
