On Reuben Pond

Rueby Tuesday by Carlos and Jean Aleman

In the tradition of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Reuben has decided that he wants to write a book of poety. He takes a moment to go to a pond by his cabin for inspiration. The peacefulness of his surroundings leads to deep thoughts of life, love and doggie food.

Reuben spends an afternoon of careful contemplation. After he is finished, he is inspired to start on a work entitled The Scent of Perfection. He goes back to his cabin to begin working on it.
