SONG OF MYSELF — WALT WHITMAN (1855)

“I celebrate myself, and sing myself.”

What if simply being alive were reason enough to celebrate?

The grass beneath our feet.
The air entering our lungs.
The warmth of the sun.
The body. The soul. The extraordinary fact that we are here.

First published in Leaves of Grass in 1855, Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” is an exuberant celebration of existence, nature, individuality, freedom, and our profound connection to one another.

Whitman looks at the ordinary and discovers the infinite.

Every atom matters.
Every life belongs to something greater.
And existence itself becomes poetry.

“I exist as I am, that is enough.”

Perhaps sometimes we need no greater reason to celebrate life than this:

We are here.
We are alive.
And that is enough.

DARKNESS — LORD BYRON (1816)

Imagine waking up tomorrow and the sun never rises.

No morning.
No warmth.
No light.
Only darkness.

Written in 1816, during the “Year Without a Summer,” following the massive eruption of Mount Tambora, Lord Byron’s Darkness imagines the gradual disappearance of civilization as humanity is consumed by fear, hunger, violence and despair.

The poem begins as a dream.
It becomes a nightmare.
And ends with one terrifying image:

Darkness is no longer around us.
Darkness is everything.

More than two centuries later, Byron’s vision remains disturbingly powerful.

Written in 1635 by the Spanish playwright Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Life is a Dream (La vida es sueño) is a philosophical drama that explores illusion, free will, and the nature of reality. At its core is Segismundo, a prince imprisoned since birth, who begins to question whether his experiences are real or merely dreams. In one of the play’s most powerful moments, Segismundo delivers a haunting monologue reflecting on the fleeting nature of life and the idea that, whether waking or dreaming, human existence is fragile and uncertain. by @aru.beruto

Spring
BY GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS by @aru.beruto

When I moved into this house five years ago and introduced myself to the neighborhood, most of the neighbors said the same thing. There used to be a beautiful sakura tree in front of the house, but unfortunately, the previous owner had cut it down. They all remembered how stunning it was.

That stayed with me.

On that very day, I thought, I know exactly what I’m going to do. I’m going to plant a sakura tree. Not only because one day, when I move away, I hope the neighbors will remember me as the person who brought it back—but also because, until then, I get to live with it.

I get to witness it.

Now, every spring, I wake up early, come downstairs, sit under the tree, and simply admire it. Just being there, embracing a bit of wabi-sabi—the quiet beauty of things as they are.

And honestly, it’s a great feeling. by @aru.beruto
