iPhone Hipstamatic photo taken somewhere, sometime in 2009.. no recollection really. Probably on an early morning drive to an art fair.<\/i><\/p>\n
I woke up early this morning (err, 4am early) to do some work but was diverted by a comfy couch and hot tea and pleasant thoughts. (oops). Post sunrise: spent another 1.5 hours running on the river levy, with the sun to my face, eastward, and the moon to my face, westward, thanking both, in my unconventional way, that I get the time to do this.. (even though I’ve got lots of things that need doing). I wished I had my camera out there – the sun was covered behind a large gray cloud with shining silver lining – its beams stretching out past the cloud in all directions..<\/p>\n
Excerpt from Give me the Splendid, Silent Sun<\/b> by Walt Whitman<\/p>\n
\nGIVE me the splendid silent sun, with all his beams full-dazzling;
\nGive me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard;
\nGive me a field where the unmow\u2019d grass grows;
\nGive me an arbor, give me the trellis\u2019d grape;
\nGive me fresh corn and wheat\u2014give me serene-moving animals, teaching content;
\nGive me nights perfectly quiet, as on high plateaus west of the Mississippi, and I looking up at the stars;
\nGive me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers, where I can walk undisturb\u2019d;
\nGive me for marriage a sweet-breath\u2019d woman, of whom I should never tire;
\nGive me a perfect child\u2014give me, away, aside from the noise of the world, a rural, domestic life;
\nGive me to warble spontaneous songs, reliev\u2019d, recluse by myself, for my own ears only;
\nGive me solitude\u2014give me Nature\u2014give me again, O Nature, your primal sanities!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
