how beautiful is this seed/ spark of walt whitman-- thank you, Harsha!

i woke to rain. the dogwoods are bending with the wind with the last of

leaves.

it's raining

and the horses are in their usual places,

the cows stand chewing by the road--

they do not seem surprised by the rain.

with them and the thousands of unique blades

i sit with the grass,

celebrate, myself

in the rain!

 

some beloved leaves from whitman:

 

"i think i could turn and live with animals, they are so placid

and self-contained.

i stand and look at them long and long.

they do not sweat and whine about their condition,

they do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,

they do not make me sick discussing their duty to god,

not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of

owning things,

not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands

of years ago,

not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth. .. ."

--walt whitman/1855

 

the sky is dark, but it is not brooding

yes, a celebration!

love and blessings,

aleks
