Spring is bursting out of every corner and my soul is beginning to creep out of the dark, rotting hell in which it has been withering.
i can breathe again, ahhh.
it is amazing how a simple season can bring such hope and expectation. the long winter is passing.. behold the newness of earth, the sweet smell of blossoms, the beauty of clear blue and shimmering gold! AMAZING.
the beauty overwhelms me and i cannot help but stop and stare. i can see the temptation to worship nature.. it is so miraculous; where only yesterday there was a naked tree limb, today produces a cluster of fragrant petals!
i am in love, giddy as a school girl.. and i cannot help but selfishly feel this beauty is somehow created for me!
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 all nothing--human merely being doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

thank you, God... oh thank you for spring!!
