a new day, a new beginning

i have been thinking about the ability to start anew. it is one of my favorite things about life. i can create a disaster in one day, but have a fresh start the next. i can be sullen, melancholy, or just exhausted, however, once i slumber, i awake to a new day, a new beginning. what a fascinating and blessed aspect of living.

and on this day of thoughts filled with new beginnings, i have had ee cummings in my head. maybe because my mind has been pondering all the beautiful things that i know? (and now i may be officially making myself sick...oh well, what is one to do when feeling joyful?) i love his style and his content. his poems express what i have often, hope, or aspire to feel. this one is my favorite. maybe it's because of my hopeless romantic side which dreams of emotions such as these for someone and from someone.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
