Up from the ice

From today's Thoreau-blog entry:
We too have our thaws. They come to our January moods, when our ice cracks, and our sluices break loose. Thought that was frozen up under stern experience gushes forth in feeling and expression. There is a freshet which carries away dams of accumulated ice.
Many are the thoughts and directions of Democrats and unaffiliated progressives looking right now for new ways to influence our nation's politics. I suspect that they will start to set their courses and roll in the coming month or two . . .

wow--I'm so grateful to you for pointing out the Thoreau site, which seems to me to be one of the smartest uses of blogging that I have seen.

as they say in the guinness ads, "Brilliant!"

cheers,
