The beauty of Creation
Laws For Creation
“Laws for creations,
For strong artists and leaders, for fresh broods of teachers and
perfect literats for America,
For noble savans and crooning musicians.
All must have reference to the ensemble of the world, and the compact truth of the world,
There shall be no subject too pronounced–all works shall
Illustrate the divine law of indirections.
What do you suppose creation is?
What do you suppose will satisfy the soul, except to walk free
and own no superior?
What do you suppose I would intimate to you in a hundred
ways, but that man or woman is as good as God?
And that there is no God any more divine than Yourself?
And that that is what the oldest and newest myths finally mean?
And that you or any one must approach creations through such laws?”
——Walt Whitman, Laws for Creation
I found that I am so upset that I had to rely on Whitman’s words because mine must not leave my lips. Not only was another child shot but there wasn’t hardly any news coverage. I guess the story didn’t bleed enough. It is just so wrong. I felt Whitman only could say the right words.
We must stop the shooting and the violence

No dead bodies equals no media coverage Ms. Barbara.
My late husband was a broadcast engineer. He always told me if it bleeds, it leads. I just with he had been wrong.We are degenerating as a society. Not at all what we were trying for in the 60””’s.
We are a society that sacrifices human life for dollars. Billions of dollars.
And people wonder why I feel so much pain. I want a new Utopian world. Yeah, I know. Not realistic.
Nothing wrong with wanting. We have much work to do to reach that utopian world. It won’t happen in our lifetime.

No it won’t but perhaps we can push it along. We just must never give up. Thanks for the conversation, my friend.:)
As always Ms. Barbara, it is my pleasure.
