Walden is a reflection about human being and his relationship with the Nature.
We love the nature but we fear the wilderness of the Nature. We imagine to find freedom in the wilderness but our ancestral fear about the unknown and the mystery of Nature come out every time we are into the wild.
Humans try to protect theirself creating human tracks into the wood: lights, things, sounds, cabins, walls and windows to see the nature from distance and protect ourself by the scaring presence...of the Spirit of Nature.
