A gentle reading of Emerson’s Nature

This two-part series reflects on the natural world as a source of beauty, wisdom, and spiritual connection. Read in the soft, steady tones of an old AM radio, Emerson’s words invite quiet contemplation and a deeper sense of unity with the world around us.

Pick a place to unwind

The Ride Home — the hum of the highway, the soft purr of the engine, and the comfort of being driven through the dark

Gull Harbor — waves, distant gulls, and the hush of a screened-in porch above the bay

Cozy Camper — rain on the roof, mountain air, and the stillness of a storm outside

Drift off in the back seat of your parent’s car

Fall asleep on a warm screened-in porch

Rest easy in your lakeside camper trailer in the rain
