“The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.”
This slide lecture introduces Ralph Waldo Emerson’s first book, Nature. Emerson’s words will be accompanied by Ron’s amazing nature photographs. Selected readings are drawn from each of the book’s eight chapters, providing participants with an overview of this seminal work, a text fundamental to the Transcendental Movement.
