nathanlovestrees<p>“The bluebird carries the sky on his back.”</p><p><a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Thoreau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thoreau</span></a> 3 April 1852</p>
nathanlovestrees<p>2/ Though as yet the trill of the chip-bird is not heard— added—like the sparkling bead which bursts on bottled cider or ale. When we wake indeed, with a double awakening—not only from our ordinary nocturnal slumbers, but from our diurnal—we burst through the thallus of our ordinary life with a proper exciple, we awake with emphasis.”</p><p><a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Thoreau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thoreau</span></a> 22 March 1853</p>
nathanlovestrees<p>2/ Boil down the sweet sap which the spring causes to flow within you. Stop not at syrup—go on to sugar, though you present the world with but a single crystal—a crystal not made from trees in your yard, but from the new life that stirs in your pores. Cheerfully skim your kettle, and watch it set and crystallize, making a holiday of it if you will. Heaven will be propitious to you as to him.”</p><p><a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Thoreau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thoreau</span></a> letter to Harrison Blake 13 March 1856</p>
nathanlovestrees<p>“I was reminded, this morning before I rose, of those undescribed ambrosial mornings of summer which I can remember, when a thousand birds were heard gently twittering and ushering in the light, like the argument to a new canto of an epic and heroic poem. The serenity, the infinite promise, of such a morning! The song or twitter of birds drips from the leaves like dew. Then there was something divine and immortal in our life.”<br><a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Thoreau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thoreau</span></a> 10 March 1852</p>

nathanlovestrees<p>“Still the ever rich and fertile shores accompanied us, fringed with vines and alive with small birds and frisking squirrels, the edge of some farmer’s field or widow’s wood-lot, or wilder, perchance, where the muskrat, the little medicine of the river, drags itself along stealthily over the alder-leaves and muscle-shells, and man and the memory of man are banished far.”</p><p><a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Thoreau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thoreau</span></a> from A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers</p>
