Your writing on finding transcendence in nature reminded me of a book that I am reading currently, entitled 'Strange New World' by Carl Trueman. He is a Christian theologian, so you may not agree with his conclusions, but he discusses the ideas of the Romantics and how they found transcendence within chapter two, and I found it interesting. You might too.

I will definitely check that chapter out! Thank you so much for the recommendation and thanks as well for checking my little blog! Even though I abandoned Christianity as a belief system, I still cherish its intellectual dimension, so I’m definitely interested in what Christians have to say. Also, I love the Romantics. Thanks for stopping by!
My love for scholasticism and the philosophy of religion is the main reason behind why I decided to study theology at an undergraduate level. There's definitely a lot of valuable perspectives to think about (and read) both from secular and religious authors. Whilst I don't agree with certain key Romantic ideas because of my faith, I think there are a lot of things Christians could learn from them, too.
I'll keep an eye on your site; your writing was interesting to read. :]
It is refreshing meeting people who are able to learn from different schools of thought even though they disagree with some aspects of them. Sadly, I don’t encounter that way of approaching knowledge that often. I find awesome the fact that you are studying Theology, it must be really interesting! I recently watched a video about the theology of St. Gregory of Nyssa.
Thanks for keeping an eye on my blog! I’ll keep an eye on yours as well, it’s really interesting! I have enjoyed the two posts on minimalism, since I also struggle with mental fatigue fairly often.
