A Book of the Seasons: April 20.


April 20.

 A very pleasant
warm afternoon -- the earth seems
to be waking up.


Yesterday is like
a reflection in water.
Ideal. Inverted.
April 20, 1854


On the long way home
stars shine like a winter night,
dipper upside down.


A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau
"A book, each page written in its own season,
out-of-doors, in its own locality.”

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.
