Self-reliance

I occasionally tinker with the writings of R.W. Emerson, that part of them that is available in German, I have two such collections which I really appreciate. Today I stumbled over an early essay by him which struck me more intense than he usually already does, leaving me touched by something that I can feel but hardly name, but speaking like from my inner core, or speaking through my inner core. Felt struck and quite thankful to have found this essay, which I understand from follow-up research is seen as one of his most famous pieces of works, if I understood that correctly.

Thought I share it with you.

Felt as if he was talking directly to me and explaining why I am in so much conflict with the world I need to live in. I held Emerson in high esteem already before - but now even more.
