Yesterday was theme day at the Blogathon, in which we were supposed to create a Wordle of our blogs or of some meaningful language and post it. Unfortunately, for reasons I have yet to discover, I’m having difficulty adding pictures and videos to my blog. I’m working on it. So for now, here is a link to a Wordle I created of my favorite poem by ee cummings, i thank you god for most this amazing.

I sang this once in choir and still think of the words musically. Here they are as written (without the music)

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)

There are a few different choir versions — the most popular on YouTube seems to be one by Whitacre. But this is the one I sang.

Enjoy this amazing day!
