perfect morning

e.e. cummings - i thank you God for most this amazing day

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
wich 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)

One Sunday Ed Key brought  a beautiful piece of music to the service to play as the organist.  I brought a poem.   He had looked for this very poem the night before and hadn't found it anywhere.   I had brought the very poem but didn't know how we might use it in the service. 

God's work continues and swirls all around us.

God abide
