  A special day

Today is a special day, so I wanted to share this with 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 carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)" E. E. Cummings

The da Vinci Barnstar
Thank you for your assistance at WP:ANI and at WT:SRNC.

[edit] Cool stuff

THIS
IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA


One gateway to the wide garden
of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past,
in which we must delve
the well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted
for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which
truth may grow in bright places,
tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine,
warming our first steps toward knowing
how much we do not know.
