Thank you for sharing Whitman. Where do we find it’s like today? Amanda Gorman, perhaps.

Amanda has met the moment more than once, rising to the occasion so perfectly as who she is. And she's so young. She will lead a great poetic life.

I thought that might be it.

I'll never tire of saying autocorrect is my worst enema.

Whitman shall lead the way to save this country that we love by voting for democracy, for country over party, for Harris who will protect, respect and honor our Constitution as Lincoln did when our country was so divided. Whitman memorialized him in "My Captain, My Captain" and "When Lilacs in the Dooryard Bloom'd" and let us hope that this election is not a day of mourning for the country, the constitution and the unity Lincoln and the Republican Party he once stood for.

Jay, this could not be more timely. May America find Whitman under its collective bootheels on election day.
