Walt Whitman on the body and soul...

Submitted by Anna G. on Mon, 02/04/2008 - 2:35pm.

I'm reading a book now that quotes Walt Whitman in Leaves of Grass in what I think was an interesting and relevant view on this topic.

 

"Was someone asking to see the soul?

See, your own shape and countenance

Behold, the body includes and is the meaning, the main

Concern, and includes and is the soul."

 

His idea was that we don't HAVE a body, but that we ARE a body...which is something to think about.
