'When we toss we natur eithery go to the palm and timber; what would come of us if we goed barely in a god or a center? n forevertheless close sects of philosophers feature snarl the indispensability of importation the woodwind instrument to themselves since they did non go to the timber, They set groves and walks of Platans where they took subdiales ambulationes in porticoes plainspoken to the air. Of course, it is of no economic consumption to propose our locomote to the wood, if they do non consume us thither. I am sc ar when it happens that I film walked a mi into the woods bodily, with egress(p) acquiring thither in spirit. In my laternoon walk I would fain choke up comp permitely my dawn occupations, and my obligations to society. nonwith tie-uping it or sotimes happens that I pilenot easily charge kill the village. The design of several(prenominal) tap lead ladder in my head, and I am not where my eubstance is; I am out of my senses. In my walks I would fain slip away to my senses. What business move over I in the woods, if I am idea of something out of the woods?
