PRAYER AND CONTEMPLATION:
MAY 21ST 2020

Dear Friends,

I am attaching a poem by e.e.cummings which you may wish to use as a focus for the quiet time on Thursday May 21st. If you are not familiar with the work of this poet I hope you will find your way into hearing his special voice. As always , this is just a suggestion and there are other potential resources elsewhere on the Church website.

Warm good wishes,

Margaret Beetham


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 innite 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 of 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)
e.e. cummings
