Welcome to Litsy!

This morning I picked up my journal for the first time since I was sick. The prompt was “Walk About.” Because I was in bed 5 days, my response was so different than it would have been if I had been healthy: walking as reemerging, walking as recovery, walking as rebirth, walking as connection(with my students). #SeptemberJournalingPrompts #walkabout #day9

'There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same. He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate. What Plato has thought, he may think; what a saint has felt, he may feel; what at any time has befallen any man, he can understand. Who hath access to this universal mind is a party to all that is or can be done, for this is the only and sovereign agent.'

“If you spent a day with Henry David Thoreau, when you left, you would glance back in the gathering dusk and wave. You would see Henry writing in his journal by the light of his kerosene lamp. He would look up and call, 'Remember- have an adventure every day!'“

Robert Burleigh has other great historical and historical fiction books.

A take on “meeting“ Henry David Thoreau. Fictionalized since it is
“imagining“ what a day with him would be like, but accurate based on known habits, likes, and knowledge of Thoreau.
