sending love and poetry after hurricane sandy


Walt Whitman knew it; we'd be wise to remember it. We're all in this fragile world together. From "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry":

"It avails not, time nor place—distance avails not,
I am with you, you men and women of a generation, or ever so many generations hence,
Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt,
Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd"

Much love to all affected by the storm.
