Wow, I think that this is the essence of a lot of what Whitman is trying to say. Although he tends to get carried away with descriptions and can on occasion seem boisterous and preachy, I think that he really just wants to inspire people to enjoy life. Today we all always seem so rushed, here we are reminded to slow down and realize that every moment is a gift, every blade of grass is something to be admired and ever person is capable of even more than they probably think that they are.
