e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

I can't believe I have been away from blogs for so long!!! I've been reading the past 5 or six posts to catch up! First of all - Congratulations of graduating! It sounds like you have some good things coming your way.
Next - Happy Birthday! (so it's about a month late - hey, I've been getting very little sleep here!) Looks like you had a great double birthday weekend.
The capelet/hood is beautiful. Please post a finished picture!
Glad to see you crocheting too. There are some great patterns in the Happy Hooker. I haven't bought it yet, but it is on my list of wants.
I love that e. e. cummings poem. Thank you for posting it.
I hope you are doing well and apologize for my lack of internet presence. I've barely had time to post on my site. Things here are incredibly intense, and I hope they gear down before too long.
Congratulations again!!!
