Not quite sure what the format will be for the Monday post just yet, but today, since the day has gotten away from me and there are only two minutes left till Tuesday, we’ll start with e. e. cummings. Because I’ve never loved anyone else’s words more consistently than I’ve loved his.
may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secret of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it’s sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there’s never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile
-e. e. cummings
I think I’ll let this be my mantra for the week. What’s yours?
love.
