Walt Whitman I Sing The Body Electric(1855):
I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves?
And if those who defile the living are as bad as they who defile the dead?
And if the body does not do fully as much as the soul?
And if the body were not the soul, what is the soul?
---
I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough,
To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,
To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough,
To pass among them or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment, what is this then?
I do not ask any more delight, I swim in it as in a sea.
There is something in staying close to men and women and looking on them, and in the contact and odor of them, that pleases the soul well,
All things please the soul, but these please the soul well.
---
Each belongs here or anywhere just as much as the well-off, just as much as you,
Each has his or her place in the procession.
(All is a procession,
The universe is a procession with measured and perfect motion.)
--
Do you know so much yourself that you call the meanest ignorant?
Do you suppose you have a right to a good sight, and he or she has no right to a sight?
Do you think matter has cohered together from its diffuse float, and the soil is on the surface, and water runs and vegetation sprouts
For you only, and not for him and her?
--
O I say these are not the parts and poems of the body only, but of the soul,
O I say now these are the soul!
This is my favority TZ. Heartwarming.
This is one of the very best.
If you are American, then Walt Whitman is your imaginative father and mother, even if, like myself, you have never composed a line of verse. You can nominate a fair number of literary works as candidates for the secular Scripture of the United States. They might include Melville's Moby-Dick, Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Emerson's two series of Essays and The Conduct of Life. None of those, not even Emerson's, are as central as the first edition of Leaves of Grass.
I wish this was a real place, as I am a special needs mother taking care of my daughter and i just need a break. She would be made a lil different but the overall concept I really like.
Look into earthing grounding. Videos here on UA-cam.
The Earthing Movie
The Grounded Documentary and Heal for Free
Is that Veronica Cartwright?
Yes
where is the rest of it, the episode was about 25 minutes long this is only 4
You'll have to ask CBS and the Bradbury Estate if you can see it for free. They likely won't look kindly upon that.
true but then it might have been a good idea if the title did not make you think it was full episode
Just saw this on TV. A little creepy
Just watching this but it feels creepy.
They are looking for a grandmother, not a mother and they want grandpa to love the person that looks like his daughter.
Creepy.
Ray Bradbury wrote an episode of TZ!?!
i think he wrote others but this was the only one made..i'm not positive though but i feel like i remember reading it somewhere before.
