White Line Through America
It doesn't take a academic essay to understand the roots of the Beat Generation or Jack Kerouac but dozens have been written and some are worth reading. The passion and zest that flowed through the veins of the Beats is what flows through all of us. The Beats and latter many of the Hippies lived without tamping down life's passion and conforming to what they saw as outdated rules and restrictive morals.
Words often naked and scared dripping onto the paper to expose or explain what many never even knew they were feeling. Kerouac was able for a short time to hold it all in his hands, hold it all in his vision. Then it was gone.

- Great topic for a lens! I was always more drawn to Ginsberg than Kerouac (and I'm fascinated by Trungpa Rinpoche), but any lens that lets me vote for City Lights is ok by me.

Being myself means sometimes I walk with the group and sometimes I don't. But either way, I pay attention to the moment and not the roar of crowd....
