el chaltan, patagonia
This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun and the animals, 

despise riches, give alms to every one 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, read these leaves in the open

 air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at 

school or church or in any book, 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...

~ Walt Whitman
