“I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
Alive
with closed eyes to dash against darkness”
― E.E. Cummings, Poems, 1923-1954
“listen: there’s a hell
of a good universe next door; let’s go”― E.E. Cummings
To see one thing new in an ordinary day
Maybe even two
Chest rising and falling
Crisp air in and out
Awe, wonder, delight
On the very ground you stand
In the sky above
Woven in a heart open wide
Not behind
Not ahead
At your feet
Steep in beauty, mystery, abundance
Of the present moment
Think again
Better yet, think less, love more.
“Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star…”― E.E. Cummings
