Troy, I’m so behind on everything, David was really ill over Christmas and I’ve been struck with heavy boots as seems to happen each January, so it’s slow going over here, but, I wish you the happiest New Year, and I’m really excited for this Whitman read. I had to stop and pause on the ‘I bequeath..’ stanza for a while, it’s like a spell. Can’t wait to see what really tuning into the poem brings. Also, the Carnyx?! What?! I’d never seen one before, it’s so intense!!
And a wonderful idea to do a deep dive into each line of Whitman’s poem! I look forward to following your exploration of this beautiful poem. And I look forward to reading the rest of your work in 2024.
Yes! We need a good battle cry of the spirit, thank you Troy. What a brilliant idea to invoke Whitman in this call to loving kindness and the sacred within each of us. I hope everyone on Substack hops over here to 'unfold toward'.
Ugh, breathtaking! I love this poem. It’s a perfect thing to hear right now as I am traveling and in an airport rating this thank you so much. Happy new year!!
I don't know the poem, so a slow exploration of it each week seems a lovely idea.
Can't believe we're in January now. I look forward to the weekly rhythm of Ford Knows keeping me afloat 🤗
I love this idea, Troy. We all must find more opportunities to find peace in our hearts and extend that peace into the world.
