Background
A description of the experience
Walt Whitman – Leaves of Grass
There is that in me – I do not know what it is – but I know it is in me
I do not know it – it is without a name – it is a word unsaid
It is not in any dictionary or utterance or symbol
To it the creation is the friend whose embracing awakes me
Do you see O my brothers and sisters
It is not chaos or death – it is form and union and plan – it is eternal life – it is happiness
