"Nature"

This passage compared nature and the world to humans and how the worked everyday. They felt that work kept everything copacetic. This passage took a lot of imagination. He was basically saying that when you gout into nature all you troubles go away and your mind drifts into a moment of peace. He says he feels like he is one with god whenever he goes to explore the nature around him.

I think this was a very good example of Transcendentalism. They believed that the individual human mind was one of the most powerful instruments in the world. And in this passage he explained how the how your mind goes to a peaceful state. They believed that if you where to go out into nature that you could talk to god because it’s just you and him. An example of this in this passage is "standing on the bare ground-my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball. I am nothing. I see all." He is sayings in this his body and everything is gone and he is in the sky and is one with god. They didn’t believe in sin because they felt everyone was good.
