Evan Carmichael reads Walt Whitman's "O Me! O Life!" a poem about doubt and self-reproach that ends with a simple answer: you are alive, and that's enough. Each person adds their own verse to existence's powerful play.
Oh me, oh life! Of the questions of these recurring, of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities filled with the foolish, of myself forever reproaching myself—for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?—of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renewed, —of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me, of the empty and useless years of the rest with the rest me intertwined. The question, oh me, so sad recurring: What good amid these, oh me, oh life? Answer: That you are here. That life exists, an identity, that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. Walt Whitman.
