Earth Day!

[nny]

Thank you winkingstar for the reminder.



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

Hee, I got my reminder from the Google doodle. (In spite of the fact that I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning up and organizing the open area of the archive I work in because they were having an Earth Day coffee/pastry shindig today. I did not get to go, though, because it was a school day for me.)
