because he is such an exquisite poet and writer, a philosopher and visionary of such depth and compassion… because his words move me and inspire me not only to write more often and explore my own thoughts regarding life, but also to live better in and of itself… because he appreciated nature and the delicate beauty of our mother earth well before it was fashionable to do so…
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said today, – ‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’ – Is it so bad then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.” – from Self Reliance

This man knew what he was talking about and I am in veneration for him because of his mind. I shall have to read more of his work.
Where there is no vision, a people perish.
