The Influence Machine
We write under the assumption that what we have to say is important to someone else. Otherwise, we would simply think and be content. This is the dusty window on my world, where I aim to influence and to be influenced through words.

that's beautiful !
who wrote it?
moon river,
Thank you for reading and commenting. Henry David Thoreau wrote those lines, which appear in Walden. I’ve long loved the ascetic quality of Thoreau.
I took a moment to browse MOON RIVER- that’s a fantastic blog. My first degree was in applied geography, and I spent several years working in cartography. I’m also very interested in mythic and sacred topology, as well as alternative methods of geographic communication.
