6/24/09

This morning I thank you for the canal
and the freedom to paddle;
I thank you for my failing-seat bicycle,
for legs weary from the road;
I thank you for a quiet office
and a chair that fits me;
I thank you for books and conversations
that direct my gaze to you;
I thank you for breathing that is peace-full,
for a spirit that is at rest,
for this mindful moment when
all things are well.

Beautiful. Reminds me a bit of ee cummings "I thank you God, for most this amazing day...."
