“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 6 Best of Both Worlds
As I start to gain understanding of all the principles we discuss in class and that are in the readings, I begin to feel more comfortable. I subscribe to the belief that all the ideas are just that. However in a classroom setting, they may appear to be concrete formulas for the appreciation of nature. Ive noticed a sense of awakening as a result so far. Its not that I am just learning new ideas about the aesthetics of nature. It seems that I am unlearning a few as well. Maybe I am letting go of some old ideas that may have been constraining.
