now the eyes of my eyes are opened


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 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

We just returned from our short wedding anniversary holiday to the Masai Mara. The poem i thank You God was streaming through my brain the entire time we were in the park. Don't worry- we'll be posting more pictures soon.
