A Book of the Seasons: November 18.


Rejoice there are owls––
the roominess of nature.
This world where owls live. 

A man can hardly 
be said to be there if he 
knows that he is there. 

Crows will often come 
flying much out of their way 
to caw at me.

November sunlight.
Thin and clear yellow sunlight,
no redness in it.
November 18, 1857

A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau
"A book, each page written in its own season,
out-of-doors, in its own locality.”

The week ahead in Henry’s journal
A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
