"To-Morrow We Land and My Ship has been Sold..."

How beautiful was the world to-day? Amazing. Golden slantways beneath the stormclouds and leaves and birds making swirling upwards cascades in the wind. Presence of God in all my movements, knowledge of joy in all my learning. Digestive system is learned and loved--I can draw nephrons! And nerves look like some kind of ornate wispy butterfly under the microscope. This is what I want to spend my life on. Thank you, thank you, God, for answers.

I will always be astonished by Christians who can't reconcile science with God. Science is proof of God...! To-day my faith is most joyous within me and I want to sing hymns that sound like November. I love the way the small intestine coils and peristalsis moves everything the way it should go, and the wise way our kidneys choose healthy good things for us and put them back into the bloodstream to sustain us. I love fall of the ureters and the bigness of the liver and I love when birds are so thick in the sky that they look like fish in the ocean, moving in a singleness, breathing and weaving together.

I am so glad I care again. I am so glad I'm awake again. I look and feel and move in the world again.

It welcomes me back. I love the world because it forgives me; I love God, and God also forgives me.

Thank you for these things.
