Ralph Waldo Emerson was an essayist and lecturer, a poet philosopher, and an activist abolitionist. He also led the transcendentalist movement — a philosophical movement that gained traction along the East Coast of the United States in the 1820s. The core of transcendentalism is a belief in the inherent goodness of people and, even more importantly, of nature. "Nature," which Emerson published in 1886, was a foundational and informational essay espousing the tenets of his philosophical and spiritual movement. This quote — a celebration of the natural order — is a reminder that time heals all wounds, but it takes wisdom and patience to get there. The quote also celebrates that the sort of divine wisdom it takes to trust the process can be found in the natural world — the changing of the seasons, the regeneration of plants and trees, an animal’s or flower’s life cycle.
