I've posted the original 19th century version of Thoreau's writing even though it is a bit difficult to read. I like the old look of the type and paper. My little farmhouse here in Maine was 7 years old when Thoreau penned those words. Not very old by European standards but it is my little bit of history. I had to smile when I found it and saw his use of the ... that I often employ!
I hope when things settle down today...when the presents are all open and the Christmas dinner finished...that you get a chance to walk out into the landscape...watch the sun go down and perhaps, if you are very lucky hear the hoot of an owl. I plan to do just that today...

Lovely.
Thank you! Thoreau is my mentor for finding wisdom and solace in Nature. He also wrote a lovely book on Walking...you might look it up!
I didn't hear the hoot of an owl Christmas afternoon, but I did hear them going to bed early the next morning. What a blessing!
All things in their time...
