I'm sorry -- no pictures today. I spent most of the day involved with the churches I work for. The two churches are preparing to vote on amalgamation with two other churches.
It's been a long process to get to this place and I'm not looking forward to the amount of work on the other side of the vote on Sunday. I don't think it matters which way the vote goes either; there will be a huge amount of work regardless. Hey! I'm going on vacation soon. Whoo hoo.
The proposed amalgamation plan was presented tonight at one of the churches. Listening to the presentation tonight was educational. Looking back through the meeting, I can imagine the Spirit flitting about chirping in ears; a bird on a shoulder. Some powerful, Spiritual things happened. In the face of the worst in human nature, if not active evil. I'm still processing it all.
Though, I'm disappointed in myself. I had planned to say nothing. I couldn't quite keep my mouth shut. I've done worse though. I give myself a 50 and go.
Anyway, all my creativity for the day seemed to go into meetings, which don't lend themselves to interesting pictures. I give you instead a poem which has been drifting through my thoughts lately.
i thank You God
by 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 unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
