Calm


March 29

Calm, warmer, and pleasant at once.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, March 29, 1860


Calm, warmer, and pleasant. 
Compare March 29, 1858 ("Nearly as warm and pleasant as yesterday."). See March 15, 1860  ("Here is the first fair, and at the same time calm and warm, day.")


How memorable
a calm warm day amid cold 
and blustering ones. 


The first pleasant days
of spring come out like a squirrel
and go in again.

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.
