springtime ?

maybe i'll just be a springtime blogger - suddenly when the sun shines and things begin to spring up out of the ground i feel better about communicating - have been away from this blog more than i have been here - lots of publishing deadlines, so it's not like i haven't been at my computer - but now that the ground is waking up and the hills near my home all have their spring green dresses on, i am beginning to feel like reaching up and reaching out too - i have spent the winter mulling over a lot of ideas - maybe now the spring is springing i will see some of those thinking seeds begin to grow ?

spring into summer

things are beginning to spring up everywhere - i love this time of year - life is so very evident (though missing an hours sleep is not quite as joyous an experience !)

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 birthday 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 unimaginably You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and

now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
