i thank you God
I just had the most amazing night with the UK women's chorus. We had our yearly retreat at Calvary Baptist Church...90 plus women singing, dancing, and spending time together. I love this choir. I love the girls in it and their absolute passion for the music that we sing...their hearts for friendship and their ability to find that one girl in the corner who is new and doesn't know anyone and transform her into a silly singing dancing friend.
We specifically spent some time on a song tonight called "i thank you God" by e.e.cummings. I want to share the words of it with you, whomever you are, and let you have a little bit of the joy we feel when we sing it with goosebumps and tears.

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 birthday of life and love and wings
and of the gay great happening illimitibly earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing breathing any-
lifted from the no of nothing -
human merely being doubt unimaginable you?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
the eyes of my eyes are opened)
