I feel some e e cummings coming on

[devi]

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)

Not to do down the rest of the poem, but great closing couplet!

This is the poem I read at my sister's wedding nearly ten years ago

...which reminds me I have to practice the other poem (also e.e.cummings) that my brother wants me to read at his wedding in a couple of weeks...

That's beautiful. As always, I've really enjoyed reading about your adventures.

So that's where that line's from! I thought I recognised it. Thankyou :)
