A Book of the Seasons: February 25.


February 25.

Waves on the meadows.
Large cakes of ice blown up-stream
against Hubbard’s Bridge.
February 25, 1851

Feel your pulse -- Measure
your health by your sympathy
with morning and spring.

First silvery sheen
from needles of the white pine
waving in the wind.
February 25, 1860

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.
