"May my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is betther than to know
and if men should not hear them then 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"
- ee cummings: may my heart always be open to little
*little wire heart by Jennifer Swift (http://www.blog.birdfromawire.com/). Jennifer is an artist I heart. Thanks Jen for reminding me to be open to the little things.
Thanks for writing this! Love the poem and now you've reminded me of the little things too!
