Skating to Bedford.

January 15.

It has just been snowing, and this lies in shallow drifts or waves on the Great Meadows, alternate snow and ice. 

Skate into a crack, and slide on my side twenty-five feet. 

The river-channel dark and rough with fragments of old ice, — polygons of various forms, — cemented together, not strong.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, January 15, 1855

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.
