Happy New Years

I don't understand New Year's eve. It's just another day isn't it? So why save self-betterment until them? Seems to me you could make a resolution on November 14th, or March 23rd just as good as December 31st. And why stay up till 12:00? The sun is going to rise the next day just like it does every other day, except your going to be tired.

This is the 100th post of the ambiguously titled blog that I write. I can't decide what to call it. I never liked Maria's Music, and "i thank You God", while being a great poem is not a good name for a blog. Pretty uneventful post for #100. So here is a poem by E.E. Cummings!



i am a little church(no great cathedral)
far from the splendor and squalor of hurrying cities
--i do not worry if briefer days grow briefest,
i am not sorry when sun and rain make april

my life is the life of the reaper and the sower;
my prayers are prayers of earth's own clumsily striving
(finding and losing and laughing and crying)children
whose any sadness or joy is my grief or my gladness

around me surges a miracle of unceasing
birth and glory and death and resurrection:
over my sleeping self float flaming symbols
of hope,and i wake to a perfect patience of mountains

i am a little church(far from the frantic
world with its rapture and anguish)at peace with nature
--i do not worry if longer nights grow longest;
i am not sorry when silence becomes singing

winter by spring,i lift my diminutive spire to
merciful Him Whose only now is forever:
standing erect in the deathless truth of His presence
(welcoming humbly His light and proudly His darkness)
