You need to hear this CD. It is a supremely divine musical experience.
I'll do a real entry soon, I promise. There is a LOT to talk about. But for now, I am pressed for time, so I just want to share this poem that I love (because I'm listening to this amazing song that uses it as lyrics - from the new-ish Eric Whitacre CD called Cloudburst).
i thank You God for most this amazing day
e.e. cummings
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 allnothing - human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
i thank You God for most this amazing day
e.e. cummings
