I have so many favorite days: Family birthdays. January 1. February 29. Summer Solstice. The first day of Autumn. Winter Solstice. The first day of Spring. Especially the first day of Spring.
Today! is one of my favorite days!
Favorite days call for waffle breakfasts with friends and long walks with Petra. Favorite days ask for daydreams and chocolate.
Favorite days beg for e.e. cummings:
O sweet spontaneous
- O sweet spontaneous
- earth how often have
- the
- doting
- fingers of
- purient philosophers pinched
- and
- poked
- thee
- ,has the naughty thumb
- of science prodded
- thy
- beauty .how
- oftn have religions taken
- thee upon their scraggy knees
- squeezing and
- buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
- gods
- (but
- true
- to the incomparable
- couch of death thy
- rhythmic
- lover
- thou answerest
- them only with
- spring)
- ~ e.e. cummings
- From Tulips and Chimneys, 1923.
Happy. Spring.
Late breaking addendum: oh, the moon in the middle of the night sky on the first day of spring... it's a beauty.
