Cheers to you, to the passage from winter to spring, and to Ina Coolbrith. That's a lovely poem that could be a lovely song as well.

I do not crave to have thee mine alone, dear Keeping thy charms within my jealous sight; Go, give the world the blessing of thy beauty, That other hearts may share of my delight! I do not ask, thy love should be mine only While others falter through the dreary night; Go, kiss the tears from some wayfarer’s vision, That other eyes may know the joy of light! Where days are sad and skies are hung with darkness, Go, send a smile that sunshine may be rife; Go, give a song, a word of kindly greeting, To ease the sorrow of some lonely life! - Otto Leland Bohanan

I have come across references to Walden in many things and always meant to find out more - but never did. Thank you Rebecca for bringing Walden and Thoreau's transendental reflections on the wild and simple life to me. Beautifully read with beautiful images (as always). you really cast the writer's spell over me.

Thank you, Paul, for your comments - you always make my day. I just checked my reading and found that I noted. in the video, that it was Walden by "David Henry Thoreau" when it should be "Henry David Thoreau" - Yikes! My father gifted me a copy of Walden many years ago. He appreciated the philosophy of the Transcendental Movement.

Rain brings an awakening to the ground and everything says it is time to wake up... that is poetry in and of itself Rebecca as is the joy of being alive in one day. I think there is nothing better to aspire to than the joy of being alive for one single day. The ducks in the background the view over the park- all contributed to the atmosphere of this lovely celebratory poem which so elegantly puts into words what we mere mortals often fail to.

It is hard for a prose writer to present an argument simply. It is doubly hard for a poet, who must distill a whole argument into a few well chosen lines. Mary Jo tackled a great metaphysical question beautifully. John Dunne would be proud of what, and how, she said.

I don't think Leo meant to recommend Burton's unxepurged version of the 1001 Arabian Nights to the under 14s- It's pretty racey! Although if he did good on him. I read Last Exit to Brooklyn at the age of 13. Mind you it scared the pants off me. So perhaps that's what he intended.

I love listening to you speak. As for the poem, so many people try to capture the magic of snow and sometimes sound trite. Longfellow does it beautifully. I's not only pleasingly lyrical, but it has a strong robust form with interwoven rhymes that match the interweaving of ideas - external nature descriptions compared and contrasted with internal brooding reflection.
