It is difficult to remember the natural beauty of a 100 year old oak tree while you dwell in the city where you are lucky to see a tree every three blocks.

transcendentalism‚ being close to nature seems to be the most practiced still today‚ yet people never notice the amount of influence of this particular principle. Everyone has a little transcendentalism in him or her‚ but even those people are wondering how that is even possible.
