A Book of the Seasons: August 22

August 22.

I hear muttering
of thunder as the first drops
dimple the river.
August 22, 1853


It pulls like an ox 
and makes me think there’s more wind 
abroad than there is.

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.
