A Book of the Seasons: February 10.

Go across Walden,
bright sunlight on pure white snow.
My shadow is blue.
February 10, 1855

The river is black
when the waves run high – for each 
wave casts a shadow. 

A strong northwest wind 
shaking the house and driving 
smoke down the chimney.   

There is a glare of light from the fresh , unstained surface of the snow , so that it pains the eyes to travel toward the sun .

Stopping to look at
the imprint of bird wings– the
owl nabbed a squirrel.

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.
