A Book of the Seasons: January 13.


A drifting snow-storm
last night and to-day, the first
sleighing this winter.
January 13, 1853

The landscape is now
patches of bare ground and snow
running water, sun.

Still warm and thawing.
The landscape is now patches
of bare ground and snow. 
January 13, 1854

The cold spell over,
here this morning is hoar frost-- 
a crystallized fog.
January 13, 1859


I see the pine woods
at a distance through the mist --
a dark-blue color.
January 13, 1859

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.
