The Open Road: a learning community

Afoot and lighthearted, I take to the open road...
Henceforth, I ask not good fortune,
I myself am good fortune.

Walt is my friend, a traveling companion on the open road of my life journey. His poem “Song of Myself” changed the way I see and experience the world–changed my life. Here’s an interview I did on Marfa Public Radio.  -Johnny
