Ponderings of a Pilgrim PASTOR

            Here is a great poem by e.e. cummings for both the Easter Season and Earth Day.  —  Pastor Dave

I THANK YOU GOD FOR MOST THIS AMAZING

      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)
