Walden Pond Revisited by N C Wyeth

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see…
— Thoreau
I am grateful for what I am and have.
My thanksgiving is perpetual.
It is surprising how contented
one can be with nothing definite -
only a sense of existence.
Well, anything for variety.
I am ready to try this for the next
ten thousand years, and exhaust it.
How sweet to think of!
my extremities well charred,
and my intellectual part too,
so that there is no danger
of worm or rot for a
long while.
My breath is sweet to me.
O how I laugh when I think
of my vague indefinite riches.
No run on my bank can drain it,
for my wealth is not possession
but enjoyment.
Henry David Thoreau

I had this pic lying around in my screenshot collection and I felt like making a height comparison chart. These are most of the NPCs I use when I make FO4 Machinimas.
Red names are generic enemies/presets that I “adopted” and gave names to.
Black names are regular characters
Blue names are my OC/Player characters.
Obviously this isn’t official but I felt like making/uploading this for imagination’s sake.

I went to the woods - Henry David Thoreau
I went to the woods – Henry David Thoreau
I want to share with you a quote that I absolutely love from Walden, written by Henry David Thoreau and published in 1854.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear;…

(Photo of 'Walden Pond, A Late Summer Afternoon', by Daniel Joder.)
* * * * *
"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavour. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts."
~ Henry David Thoreau, 'Walden'
[Ian Sanders]
