I remember being introduced to Thoreau in high school by my AP English teacher Mrs. Keeton. From that moment, I thought about my life in a different manner and now at the age of 50 when I really stop to think, I can see just how influential that book was on me as a person. I have very little material wealth, as I really have no NEED for much. What I DO have in abundance is an appreciation for the relationships that I have had so far and countless memories that I could turn around and relate to someone else. Henry David Thoeau, in my opinion anyway, is THE transcendental figure from our past that we can learn the most meaningful lessons from. Truly an unforgettable human being!

Beautifully made film filled with history and natural beauty. I participated in a Walk for Walden Woods in the 90s and I can still remember how magical this place was then. Thank you Don Henley and the Walden Woods Project for all you have done and continue to do to protect this historic natural treasure. ♥️

I join with the others in thanking you for making and sharing this beautiful little film. I first read Walden in 2014 and, in ways that I am still coming to understand, it changed my life - indeed, my understanding of what and why life is. My 'inner Walden' is now nurtured by a few acres of land to which I now belong. It looks after me at least as much as I do it, and it motivates and informs my thoughts about myself and the world in which we all exist. From there, I hope, my own thoughts will ripple out and in so doing constitute at least part of my reason for existing. Thanks again for sharing this.

Terrific! Thank you for the pleasure and the inspiration. I believe Henry David Thoreau also said something like "You must have a genius for charity as well as for everything else".He lead by example and believed in the power that one steady self -reliant,accountable civilian could help raise all boats.Thank you to our Unsung Heroes and Heroines working on the frontline and making the world a better place for all especially the weak and the hungry .He would be so proud of your daily efforts ☘️

Thank you - I'm on chapter with the Winter Animals - I grew up in Montreal in 1949 to 1959 - I saw and felt aaa that Henry did. I'm thankful I had that experience as a young person. Now reading Walden has made me realize I see the world very much like Henry. A true blessing.

Wonderful in so many ways! Thank you for making this video available! My father taught my sibs and me to love, care for and reverence nature from a very young age. As Thoreau points out so well there are lessons that can only be learned when one is outside in nature away from noise, busyness and the focus on doing things rather than just being. I recently read an article about how the majority of people are actually afraid of silence. How incredibly sad! It is in silence that we can think without distractions, where we can come to know ourselves and to allow the universe to teach us its deepest truths and secrets.

I don't think Thoreau would have come to the same conclusion that the narrator did regarding climate change being caused by human activities. He knew and described the fact that the weather was erratic and and examined the available evidence. He predicted that science would improve and no doubt would have come to a different conclusion that the narrator did. He described how men could deceive others whether by ignorance or design,
