“Splendor of ended day floating and filling me,
Hour prophetic, hour resuming the past,
Inflating my throat, you divine average,
You earth and life till the last ray gleams I sing.”
Walt Whitman (1888)

Some books aren't meant to be read indoors. The Site-Specific Read is about taking prose back to the soil it was born from. Reading Whitman's 'Song of the Open Road' out here breathes new life into the ink. Where does your current read truly belong? 📖🛣️🌵 #SiteSpecificRead #BookSky #WaltWhitman
Beautiful & poignant reminder that in our actions, we don’t just walk with the people around us today, but with those yet to be born decades & much more from now. Makes me want to go find a Whitman book gifted to me many years ago at a fork in my own road. #WaltWhitman
