a way with words

There is so much going on in my heart and my head right now... I need some time to process and try to get my mind around the things I've seen and experienced over the past two weeks. I'll give an update soon, but for now I thought I'd share a poem with you. e.e. cummings has a way with words that just inspires me. i've been reading this poem over and over this week, and seem to find something new every time i do. hope you enjoy!

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 this 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)

by e.e. cummings

let me tell you, Minnesota has some pretty incredible "leaping greenly spirits of trees." It is more beautiful here than I ever imagined it to be. I thank God for this day and for who He is in it!
