Song of the Open Road

Walt Whitman's beautiful poem through the eyes of a rider and his camera. Inspired by a Volvo commercial.

Wonderful! I'm about to leave Boston on a cross country tour with my dog on my BMW R1200C. I hope to make a similar video. Really great!

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,

Strong and content I travel the open road.

You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here,
I believe that much unseen is also here.

Here is realization,
Here is a man tallied—he realizes here what he has in him,
The past, the future, majesty, love—if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.

Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
I inhale great draughts of space,
The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.

I am larger, better than I thought,
I did not know I held so much goodness.

All seems beautiful to me.
