Thoreau; ”Where I Lived and What I Lived For”

I found Thoreau’s ”Where I Lived and What I live for” to be very long and difficult to read through the whole thing.But once made myself read through it, I agreedĀ  with his appreciate for home and how important it is to notice the little things in life. I enjoyed the line ”Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity and I say innocence, with nature herself”. I think it is wonderful to be able to be made happy by simple things like walking in the park or cool swims in the lake.

Thoreau’s tells about being in tune with nature. In the quote ”We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake is our soundest sleep”.Many people get so got in their busy lives never stop it enjoy the beauty of the movement.
