That Crazy Jasper!
I am certain that at least a few people think Jasper had help getting the tissue boxes on his head in an earlier photo post. Well, for the enjoyment of all (and to prove that I'm telling the truth), I took a video tonight of Jasper putting a box on his head. Tip: Make sure you don't have anything in your mouth when viewing this video. I am declaring myself not responsible for any choking or clothing stains amongst my readers!
"Passage—immediate passage! the blood burns in my veins! Away, O soul! hoist instantly the anchor!
Cut the hawsers—haul out—shake out every sail!
Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough?
Have we not grovell’d here long enough, eating and drinking like mere brutes?
Have we not darken’d and dazed ourselves with books long enough?
Sail forth! steer for the deep waters only!
Reckless, O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me;
For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go, And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.
O my brave soul!
O farther, farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! Are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!"
~Walt Whitman, "Passage to India"
