I learned this,
at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction
of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will
meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind,
will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will
begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be
expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will
live with the licence of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he
simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude
will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have
built castles in the air, you work need not to be lost; that is where they
should be. Now put the foundations under them. Henry D. Thoreau, in Walden, p 288.
While I'm finishing read Walden I've found online some nature pictures that are true inspirations.
