Concord Conservation Land, Massachusetts
Early spring is about water.
Overflowing ponds, streams, rivers and rains prepare earth for the revival.
Today, we walk the paths where Thoreau sauntered almost 200 years before.
Through the land which includes Walden Pond
and the woods that stretch all the way to Sudbury river and his beloved Fairhaven.
At that time, mostly a farmland with hills opened to long views Thoreau enjoyed so much.
Now a woodland, in the life of her own, without the views.
Yet Sudbury is still here,
with just about the same spring overflows...
