0:48 – End
The reciter is a good performer when she was asked to read the poem using different tones, like anger or depression. Without questioning, she performs quite real. Lastly and finally, she was told ” let’s do honest. Just be you.”
After seconds of interval, she represented the poem applying her own feeling and understanding. It is not easier than performing under certain commands, I guess. Those seconds maybe like Whitman said, “give me a little time beyond my cuffed head and slumbers and dreams and gaping”.
“I discover myself on a verge mistake of the usual mistake.” During the dark moments, it is easy to get lost and scared; it is the feeling of getting down and down without the hope of raising. It is effortless to work harder, and painfully to look the self.
Just stop! Forgive yourself. The moment we collapse is the moment we rebuild. The moment we rebuild, I hope it is the moment we could be closer to self. If not, we are bound to experience more collapses. And we will finally regain courage, happiness and love for life as you recognize, accept and appreciate self as a masterpiece. If not, please believe it will come; please treat self mercifully.
The body was stunned in the world of thing; then, I need to separate myself to find myself back and regain the harmony in the heart. Let’s look beyond the body through the soul, and then talk to self and connect to self. It is an adventure and life-long topic to discover ourselves, especially when we are not independent enough to confront the world filled with noisy voices and judgments. It is extremely confusing when you are eager to be yourself when you are not familiar with yourself.
“The whirling and whirling is elemental within me”, the last sentence of verse 37, which I appreciate, illuminate the essence of life. The whirling and whirling is elemental within humans, and we have left proofs in the history.
