“The question, O me! so sad, recurring — What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here — that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”
“O Me! O Life!” by Walt Whitman
I can think of no other statement so profound, so inspirational.
What will your verse be?
Thinking of Robin Williams. I could barely sleep last night. What a talent . . . what a terrible loss.

Right there with you. I can’t believe Robin Williams is gone. The news broke my heart, as it will for so many. What an amazing man + talent.
