Walden Owl at Midnight
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006
I want to tell you a story about what happened at midnight, about 1 hour ago.
I was walking back to my car from a late night dip in Walden Pond. It was a waxing moon, two days past full, still quite round and bright, filling the paths with snowy light and reflecting boldly on the water’s glassy surface.
