E.E. Cummings emphasizes the importance of personal experience in nature, suggesting that intellectual thoughts can merge one with others. He advocates for feeling as a means to reconnect with one's true self. Authenticity is found when one stops thinking and simply experiences nature. This approach encourages individuals to prioritize their unique perspectives and emotional responses over conventional beliefs or knowledge. By doing so, they can contribute to a deeper connection with the environment and a sense of individuality.
"Whenever you think or you believe or you know, you're a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you're nobody-but-yourself."
