Thelma & Louise

“A foot and light-hearted, I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose…” In his poem Song of The Open Road, Walt Whiteman wrote an open road without preference, denial and limits, which all people can travel on to dispose of outworn routines, explore uncertainty and attain heroic deeds.
