A Book of the Seasons: March 24.


March 24.


Freshly cut pine wood
world of light and purity
its life oozing out.
March 24, 1853

In the course of ages
rivers wriggle in their beds
until comfortable.
March 24, 1855


Bluebirds for first time
seen in all parts of the town
as I hear to-day.
March 24, 1856


We are not at once
conscious of the whole fruit of 
our experience.

If you make the least correct 
observation of nature this year,
 you will have occasion to repeat it
 with illustrations the next, 
and the season and life itself is prolonged.
A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau
"A book, each page written in its own season,
out-of-doors, in its own locality.”

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.
