Original site of Henry David Thoreau's house, where he lived for 2 years, 2 months, and 2 days in the woods on the shores of Walden Pond, which was the foundation of his book WALDEN

Photo of the original site of Henry David Thoreau's house. In the foreground is a large brown wooden sign with the following quote in carved lettering painted white:

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

Below the quote is the carved signature, painted white, of "Henry D Thoreau".

Behind the sign is a rock cairn made of stones placed by visitors as a natural memorial to Thoreau.

In the background are granite pillars that mark the original site of Thoreau's 10' x 15' house. Beyond the site are woods.

Photo taken from Thoreau's original house site, showing the view he would have had of the blue waters of the pond through the trees of the woods. It's a sunny day and there a vertical light streak on the right side of the photo.

Taraxacum officinale” ou “Taraxacum dens leonis”

"Tout pourrait rester là
Dans l’angle tiède du canapé
Où s’échouent les heures comme des chats gras
Le thé refroidit de silence

Le ciel pourtant insiste
Avec ses bleus lavés
Vols de moineaux trop vifs
Lumière offerte aux murs

170 years ago, when it was a struggle even to figure out what was going on in a neighbouring village, Thoreau refers to The Vishnu Purana, The Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta. And while reading you realize the deep introspection that has gone on behind these reflections.

Waiting and reading. Even though I will never be able to live like Thoreau, I dream of it a bit.

Celebrating Earth Day with Henry David Thoreau

Thank you for joining me in Celebrating Earth Day 2025!

Earth Day serves as a platform to educate people about environmental issues, promoting awareness of topics such as climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. This year’s theme, OUR POWER, OUR PLANET, urges us all to unite in the pursuit of renewable energy. As we face the pressing challenges of climate change, it’s crucial to respond to the call to action.

Beacon Hill Park, Victoria, British Columbia Walden Earth Day 2025

Each year on Earth Day, I read from Henry David Thoreau’s famous work, Walden. My copy of Walden was a gift from my father which allows me to celebrate Earth Day by remembering our “Walden” conversations from years past. Dad agreed with Thoreau’s insights on living within our world: the importance of simplicity, self-sufficiency, and a deep appreciation for the natural environment that surrounds us. The changing seasons, the sounds of the forest, and the rhythms of life serve as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things.

Thoreau’s words encourage us to reflect on our relationship with nature and to embrace a lifestyle that harmonizes with the beauty and tranquility of the world. When we slow down and appreciate the small wonders of life, we begin to understand the vital role that nature plays in our well-being.

In this age of rapid change and growing environmental challenges, Thoreau’s words resonate even more. They inspire us to seek solace, clarity, and purpose in nature, reminding us that our survival is intrinsically linked to the health of the planet.

By recognizing Earth Day, we acknowledge the importance of preserving our planet for future generations and affirm our commitment to nurturing the Earth.

“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

“e di nuovo verso la fine dell'inverno, quando la neve si scioglieva sul versante sud della collina e intorno alla mia catasta di legna, le pernici uscivano dai boschi mattina e sera in cerca di cibo”.

Die Geschichte stammt aus China und erzählt von einem alten Maler, der den Freunden sein neuestes Bild zu sehen gab. Ein Park war darauf dargestellt, ein schmaler Weg am Wasser und durch einen Baumschlag hin, der lief vor einer kleinen Tür aus, die hinten in ein Häuschen Einlass bot. Wie sich die Freunde aber nach dem Maler umsahen, war der fort und in dem Bild. Da wandelte er auf dem schmalen Weg zur Tür, stand vor ihr still, kehrte sich um, lächelte und verschwand im Spalt.
Walter Benjamin
