Transcendentalism
Transcendentalism is a philosophy that began
in the mid-19th century and whose founding
members included Ralph Waldo Emerson and
Henry David Thoreau. It centers around the
belief that spirituality cannot be achieved
through reason and rationalism, but instead
through self-reflection and intuition.

are superior to reason

My powerflurriesthroughthe airintothe ground
My soulis spiralingin frozenfractalsall around
Andone thoughtcrystallizeslike anicy blast
I'm never going back,the pastis in the past
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free
