another world is possible

read by my friend’s wife at her funeral

[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]

By E. E. Cummings 1894–1962

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 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)

yikes

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

You must learn to assess a realistic sense of your own boundaries and limits, Sag. Your relationships are challenging you to understand yourself better, and to take responsibility for your own needs. Be smart enough to see your limits and strong enough to cut things off before they go too far.
