Everyone Everywhere 

Needs to get to know 

Walt Whitman

For he was every man, woman and child

He was you and he was me

He was not a poet sitting in his ivory tower

Dispensing pretty little rhymes and meter

He was of the mud and of the stars

Earthy Raw and Divine Ecstasy

Born two hundred years old-

He still speaks to us as one of us

A fellow pilgrim traveling through the universe

Speaking directly to you and me as Teacher and Friend

Do not miss out on one of Life's Treasures

Get to know him

He will guide you to

Enlighten your mind

Free your spirit

Open your heart

Knowing him can vastly enrich your life

One of his Friends was the painter

Thomas Eakins

Here is a portrait painted by him of WW

Boy, did I pull a huge boner last night

And NO! Not the good kind

It took me HOURS to put today's main post together

I worked and worked so diligently 

As I clicked publish

I realized that I had posted it to The Good Stuff

And not to AOM MD

SO

I tried to import just the one post

I think you can do it but....

I wound up importing all the posts

from The Good Stuff to Here

There are only about 20 days of posts

So it just filled in the days I didn't post here

But It was a comedy of errors

Winding up with spaghetti all over my head

:  )

I guess it will be all right

I do hope you will enjoy your visit

and if you have not done so,

I hope that you will get to know Whitman

Alan Ginsberg said of Whitman:

"He was

in some respects.

 The precursor of Gay Liberation"

I would take that further

And suggest

Whitman is still today a huge influence on

The Liberation of All Humanity

I wish you a most Wonderful Walt Whitman Day!

Peace and Love,

AOM
