A Book of the Seasons: August 12.





The wood thrush, singing,
once more invites the day to
enter his pine woods.

There are but us three,
the moon, the earth, and myself
(the moon’s reflection).

This richest wine in
a convenient cask, and so
easily kept cool!

The Bidens Beckii
yellows the side of the river
below Hubbard Path.


I bathe at Hubbard's.
The water is rather cool,
comparatively.

"A book, each page written in its own season,
out-of-doors, in its own locality.”

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.
