WALDEN... Walden Pond, Massachusetts, is a real place -- and a state of mind. Walden is as much a secret place of the mind to explore, as it is an environment to wander around in.

Henry David Thoreau explored and chronicled the Walden where he lived, as well as the Walden of his own mind.

I find much that is inspirational in Thoreau�s outlook.
|
In Walden he went to live in the woods to transact vital business with Nature and with his own nature. He sought to confront the essential facts of life. His experiences and thoughts of 150 years ago still speak true today.

And Walden West was August Derleth�s testament to the need, as he saw it, for everyone to be in touch with their own private Waldens -- within themselves, and in the landscapes of everyday life.

WALDEN EAST is my wide-ranging response to the lives, works, and thought of Henry David Thoreau and August Derleth. Anything goes.
