An old-fashioned winter continues.


February 2.


February 2, 2016


















Snows again last night, perhaps an inch, erasing the old tracks and giving us a blank page again, restoring the purity of nature. 

It may be even a trifle deeper now than hitherto.


H. D. Thoreau, Journal, February 2, 1856

Erasing old tracks and giving us a blank page.
 See January 31, 2016 ("These fresh falls of snow are like turning over a new leaf of Nature’s Album.")

The week ahead in Henry’s journal

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.
