My other Valentine

He's baaaack. Hater's gonna hate. #spiritweek #arthurtheaardvark #twinning @summitacademyeagles

I think I've accidentally created a tradition: trudging through the snow at Burr Oak Woods after the first heavy snowfall. I'm drawn to the solitude, peace, and reflection that nature provides. Thoreau noted that "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation" which he combatted by choosing to go "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."
