Henry David Thoreau - April 21st, Iyengar II & I

My frustration with wind, fire, crazy weather continues. Reading Thoreau’s Journal from 1851, as much has changed, has stayed the same. Puts things in perspective.

Ap. 22nd 1851.

Had Mouse-ear in blossom for a week-observed the crowfoot on the cliff in abundance & the saxifrage

The wind last Wednesday-Ap 16th-blew down a hundred pines on Fair Haven Hill.

Having treated my friend ill, I wished to apologize; But not meeting him I made an apology to myself.

It is not the invitation which I hear, but which I feel, that I obey.
