A letter to Henry David Thoreau

Dear Mr. Thoreau I know that you cannot read this, seeing as you passed away many years ago. However, I would hope that you could learn as much from this letter as I have learned from you. I know that in your day, life was much more difficult. None the less, one may have never seen places, especially sites miles away from their homes (except by way of train), or even know of recent world …

…deal to me until I recall all that you did without, and preferred it that way. These technologies have contributed to people rushing through life, staying indoors, and never experiencing the joys of nature as you did during your stay at Walden Pond. It is a dream of mine that one day I might be able to pull away from all my social bindings and experience nature on the same level as you. Sincerely, Jasonh6197
