“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 #8
After reading Noel Carroll's views on being aroused and being moved by nature, it makes me think of one place that truly moves me. The one place that stands out to me is the beach and the ocean. Upon the arrival, you take in the smell of the ocean air, the sand between your toes, and the rush of the water from the vast and intense ocean. The ocean and it's grandness has the ability to amaze me, as I stand back in pure awe. The ocean evokes many happy and joyous memories in my life, from vacations year to year. The only thing I need to enjoy it, is being emotionally aroused by it.
