                    ______Psalm  8 9:1, 2_

Your 

love,

O Lord,

for ever 

will I sing, 

from age to 

age… for I  am 

persuaded that 

your love is  esta-

blished forever; for 

you  have set your faith-

fulness firmly in the heavens.

               until just now I have seen/

                felt/heard "the heavens"  as 

              unchangingly consistent/the 

            same but they change from 

          moment to moment which 

        should help us think about 

      permanence and change. 

                         

                          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 birth

                        day of life and 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)
