Walt Whitman's Song of the Open Road, from his seminal work Leaves of Grass, is a celebration of freedom and the joy of journeying.
In Whitman's classic poem, the road becomes a metaphor for life's journey, full of possibilities, adventures, and the promise of personal discovery. Song of the Open Road encapsulates the essence of American transcendentalism, advocating for self-reliance and a profound connection with nature. Whitman's language and verse mirrors the free spirit of the open road, where societal constraints dissolve and the individual becomes one with the world.
"To know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls."--Walt Whitman

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose, Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune, Strong and content I travel the open road. – Walt Whitman, from Song of the Open Road #love #Twitter https://t.co/zRYsenCQYG
