Attempting to "change a piece of dream-world into reality"...

I was working with my SAT prep student tonight and one of our reading passages we were working with was an excerpt from Henry David Thoreau. All I can say is Henry David Woah! It was beautiful. For those of you who follow this blog even slightly, you may have recognized that the two words I apply to all things beyond measure in their level of coolness are "amazing" and "beautiful". This is one. Why have I never been exposed to him before? Of course, when we read it, my student said his book, Walden was "boring", and that I shouldn't read it. But I think I'll love it.

I only read a piece of it, and I've only found select quotes tonight in researching him on the internet, but he just may be my new hero. I can't wait to pick up some of his writing. So, because I am exhausted from my first longest day of tutoring ever and I have to be up early for another long day of guest servicing, uh you know what I mean, I end my short nightly post with this quote....

“Love is an attempt to change a piece of a dream-world into reality.”
Henry David Thoreau



More from my driving collection. Again today I was at the beach for work, and I just love it there. It is so peaceful, and the air smells so new. As soon as we hit the jackpot, I'm moving there.
