This blog post is inspired by the new iPad Air commercial, aired sometime between women’s inaugural skiing half pipe and the epic women’s figure skating final during the Sochi Olympics.
It quotes a Walt Whitman poem, O Me! O Life!
“That you are here – that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse”
Here’s my verse.
A full desert and an empty ocean
Sweeping and falling
While the compass, reliable
Shifts in spinning; Rests in pause
Only always
