Walden Pond is the most famous body of water in American literature, due almost entirely to Henry David Thoreau's hermetic sojourn on the pond, and his description of the pond in his book Walden, in terms simultaneously naturalistic and metaphorical.

Fellow blogger, and philosopher, Tom Morris and I walked along the pond in the light of evening, September 11, 2006.

To me Walden Pond is a cause for hope and optimism. The pond continues to be a source of beauty, renewal, and recreation to its community more than 150 years after Thoreau's time. The swimmingis excellent, the fishing ok, and the water clear and cool.
