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 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)

My engagement announcement could only be said by the words of E.E. Cummings. And as I turned around I saw Tony on one knee, and I found myself saying yes, in the best and most possible way. 


gracias a la vida.
