A Book of the Seasons: September 7.

September 7

The art of life

I don’t remember 
a page to tell me how to 
spend this afternoon . . .

surrounded by a
rich and fertile mystery – 
may we not probe it?

Paddling without sound
toward clouds in the sunset sky,
as the twilight fades.

Above the Cliffs we 
hear one or two distant owls 
It is dry and warm.
September 7, 1854

Our first slight frost with
northwest wind and cool weather
arouses a breeze in us

A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau
"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.
