Catching up with #QuotsyApr20
Discovering prose by the essayist, H D Thoreau -

When sometimes I am reminded that the
mechanics and shopkeepers stay
in their shops not only all the
forenoon, but all the afternoon
too, sitting with crossed legs, so
many of them—as if the legs were
made to sit upon, and not to
stand or #walk upon—I think that
they deserve some credit for not
having all committed suicide long
ago.

Nature doesn‘t need us, but I think it longs for us to commune with it. We should find ourselves lost in its leaves, consuming its vistas, cooled by its waters, and hiking its trails. As we do, we give ourselves a gift and leave with a big brother mentality.
