where the air is warm and sweet...

it is the most gorgeous maybe-spring-might-even-come day and in its honor i am updating my blog and posting one of my favorite poems of all time.

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today
and it is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings;and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any--lifted from the no
of all nothing--human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

-e.e. cummings


i also have to memorize something for my poetry seminar tonight so i thought i'd take the perfect opportunity to type it out. gets the memorizing juices flowing.

love to all on this glorious gift of a day.
