Philosophy Friday


©Lesley Breen Withrow


As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. 
-Henry David Thoreau


I love Henry David Thoreau's mind set and have so many quotes of his that I would love to share. This quote is one that I had not read before and found particularly interesting. Seems to me that there is a lot of truth in 'we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives'. Above is a cropped sample of some European houses I illustrated for a picture book biography that I am working on and hoping to get published. Here's to making even deeper footprints! Have a great weekend.
