When (Walt) Whitman wrote, “I sing the body electric”
I know what he
meant
I know what he
wanted:
to be completely alive every moment
in spite of the inevitable.
we can’t cheat death but we can make it
work so hard
that when it does take
us
it will have known a victory just as
perfect as
ours.
Charles Bukowski
Dearest Gene
Whitman.
Genius.
Little more to be said…. I shall be appreciating all that is to come, I’m sure.
Yours ever (and now able to comment again)
