Pondering

"To be awake is to be alive."

- Henry David Thoreau from Walden

As I did my laps around the pond this morning (and fought the gnats), I thought of autumn days passed in quiet places, of lakes and benches, and of falling leaves. I thought of living deliberately and of Walden.

"Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star." - HDT
