We need the tonic of wilderness
the land and sea. Indefinitely wild.
Unsurveyed and unfathomed.
A taste of beautiful cultivated outdoors

I wanted to live deep
and **** the marrow out of life
but we loiter in the winter
while it is already spring

The surface of the Earth
soft and impressable
carving deep
ruts of tradition and conformity

Iā€™d rather go before the mast
on deck of the world.
Mysterious and explorable
amid the moonlight and mountains.
Words taken from Walden by Henry David Thoreau
