About Me

I love reading, writing, music, nature, God and feeling emotion, not necessarily in that order. To me, these things go hand in hand. My favorite writer is Henry David Thoreau. I think he was a genius and an amazing philosopher. I love all of his writing. I also like what Jim Morrison wrote with The Doors and Ian Anderson with Jethro Tull. I think there are many musicians who are great poets & writers.

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.” ― Thoreau



“Music is the sound of the universal laws promulgated. It is the only assured tone. There are in it such strains as far surpass any man’s faith in the loftiness of his destiny. Things are to be learned which it will be worth the while to learn.” - Thoreau



W'hen I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest." - Thoreau

Heya Pete! :)

I'm indeed so glad to have come across your page today! It's so very delightful to see Henry David Thoreau's quotes placed so beautiful in your about me section.
He's one of my all time favourite writer, poet, naturalist and philosopher :) and the second obviously is his friend 'Emerson' :)

surprising & interesting. I'm told that he has a very regimented diet and only eats certain things. maybe losing Super Bowl has stirred him to change some things. To each his own.

I saw a news footage this morning on Tom Brady. He must have been on a late night show last night, trying something for the very first time. He said he had never tried it because of the way they smell...you know what it was? ...strawberries! ; )
