[ACWDYG ] For Today

For Today –

.... I was off again. Everyone became resigned to the certainty that I would have to be
shut up somewhere, or would stumble along to a miserable end. How dark it is before
the dawn! In reality that was the beginning of my last debauch. I was soon to be cata-
pulted into what I like to call the fourth dimension of existence. I was to know happiness,
peace, and usefulness, in a way of life that is incredibly more wonderful as time passes.

To breathe the air, how delicious!
To speak--to walk--to seize something by the hand!
To prepare for sleep, for bed, to look on my rose-color'd flesh!
To be conscious of my body, so satisfied, so large!
To be this incredible God I am!
To have gone forth among other Gods, these men and women I love.
Wonderful how I celebrate you and myself
How my thoughts play subtly at the spectacles around!
How the clouds pass silently overhead!
How the earth darts on and on! and how the sun, moon, stars, dart on and on!
How the water sports and sings! (surely it is alive!)
How the trees rise and stand up, with strong trunks, with branches and leaves!
(Surely there is something more in each of the trees, some living soul.)
O amazement of things--even the least particle!
O spirituality of things!

-- Walt Whitman
