📖 A Touch of Whitman
Good morning, Kodiak Crossing. I’ve been thumbing through my weathered copy of Walt Whitman's 'Leaves of Grass' this morning. You know, it’s a tome that’s as rugged and sprawling as the man himself, as nature itself.
Let me share a fragment that speaks to the heart,
"A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books."
Now, isn't that a statement? In our quest for knowledge, in our deep dives into philosophy and science, we sometimes forget the lessons that nature teaches us. The simple morning-glory at Whitman's window holds truths deeper than the densest text, truths about growth, resilience, and beauty. As we step into this day, let's remember to observe, to learn from the great teacher that is nature, as simple and profound as a morning-glory.
From the vast skies above us to the grass under our feet, there's a symphony of life playing. So, listen closely, Kodiak Crossing, to the rustling leaves of grass - they have stories to tell, wisdom to impart. In our rush, let’s not forget to hear them.
Drawing inspiration from Whitman's poetic musings and the splendor of nature's symphony, let's serenade our souls with a tune that encapsulates the sheer wonder of our existence. Here's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole. May it remind you of life's endless possibilities.
