Today's Reading - Today's Gift

"for most this amazing day . . . . . . for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes." e.e. cummings Let us be thankful today for all simple obvious things: for the sun's rising this morning without our having to awaken it; for another good turn the earth makes today without expecting anything in return; for our ability to know right and wrong by heart. Let us give thanks for all small things that mean the world to us; for bread and cheese and clean running water; for our ability to call our enemies our friends, to forgive even ourselves; for our own bodies, however sagging and worn, which insist on continuing for at least another day. How much ordinary daily good do I take for granted?
