I have said that the soul is not more than the body, And I have said that the body is not more than the soul. Walt Whitman, Song of Myself
Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am,
Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary,
Looks down, is erect, or bends an arm on an impalpable certain rest,
Looking with side-curved head curious what will come next,
Both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it.
My friend asked me last week if I could go back in time, what age would it be… I don’t know … Any age with mama & grandparents. Of course, I can say my 18-inch waist, long hair, the time when I could eat 5 pastries a day and still be 86 pounds, but that would be so superficial—any age where people I love are in my life with me works for me. And never lose your sense of wonder.
Walt Whitman’s inspiration is always my inspiration. To carry that kind of inspiration and persistence throughout his life besides poetry is a gift of its own.
