A Book of the Seasons: December 30.


December 30.

Man in winter is
to a slight extent dormant --
partially awake.
December 30, 1853


To study birds' nests
look for them in 
Winter as
well as midsummer.
December 30 1855
 

In this clear cold air
that fine evanishing edge
of clouds in the west.


The deepest snow yet.
Those who depend on skylights
find theirs a dim light.
December 30, 1859

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.
