Falmouth - Shore View
Originally uploaded by shersteve. Had a good walk this morning with Dolores here in Falmouth. A great day has dawned. Can not ask for any better weather.
So peaceful here and yet there is so much turmoil in the world.
What did Walt Whitman say? (from Leaves of Grass) (scroll to section 32)
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. |
