e.e. cummings

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

it's the second stanza of the same poem, and the rest goes like this:

"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)

The first two stanzas totally agree with what I felt today. It was my last day at work and they threw a little party for me. When I got home I went for a solid round of friz at Vimy Ridge with Joanna.

Being out in the sunshine,
the breeze
and the clear blue sky,
chasing that disk,
making multiple
behind-the-back catches.

Knowing I'd made some good connections
with my co-workers and
the people we work with
made me feel valued.

I am really alive and
awed by what we're all doing
here on earth together.
Breathing, learning,
loving, moving on.

The essence of life
made up of moments
and relationships
and reflections
on the shear mystery
and beauty of it all.
