I am made of blue sky + hard rock

This is what you shall do:
Love the earth and sun and the
animals, despise riches, give
alms to everyone that asks, stand
up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to
others, hate tyrants, argue not
concerning God, have patience and
indulgence toward the people, take
off your hat to nothing known or
unknown, or to any man or number
of men—go freely with powerful
uneducated persons, and with the
young, and with the mothers of
families—re-examine all you have
been told in school or church or
in any book, and dismiss whatever
insults your own soul; and your
very flesh shall be a great poem,
and have the richest fluency, not
only in its words, but in the
silent lines of its lips and face,
and between the lashes of your
eyes, and in every motion and
joint of your body.
