A transcendentalist is an idealist, who believes that reality consists of much more than hard empirical facts. Spirit, consciousness, synchronicity with nature and kindred souls are every bit as real and important. Such is the perspective of The Transcendentalist, evident to varying degrees in the writings and music posted here, in stories, songs, poems, etc. The site is curated by Steven P. Brown, Ph.D,, of Santa Fe, NM. Comments and guest contributions to the site are welcome and solicited.

Steve is Professor Emeritus of Marketing (University of Houston), who in retirement has turned his creative energies to memoir, songwriting, essays, and poetry, all of which are represented here. The intent is to amuse and inform with these personal expressions.

He is an experienced, capable editor, interested in hearing of your thoughts, experiences, and adventures. Personal narratives related to nature, psychology, holistic health, travel, consciousness, and related topics, broadly defined, are solicited for publication consideration. Please send your manuscripts, comments, and queries through the website contact.
