Episode 19: Part 5 of "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman

This episode we return to "Song of Myself" and take a look at part 5. As you recall, Walt left us off discussing the part of him that is him but not him, integral to his identity but not physically located. Here he names it: his soul. We'll look into the part of ourselves which is not ourselves and the value of loafing. Like bread, but spiritual.
