"To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Note Most persons do not see the sun."
These two lines really spoke to me due to the fact that as I've gotten older I feel as though the time I spend outside and the time I take to appreciate aspects of nature have been dwindling. Emerson really shows how people lose sight of what is important, one of those being nature and the outdoors in general. The second piece made me realize how few people actually stop and appreciate the things nature has done for us. The everyday fact that the sun is still shining is completely disregarded by far too many people, and Emerson is quick to point it out.
