Great Regulars: The time seems ripe for a reminder

of the things that truly matter in this life, and for that we would be well advised to turn to poetry.

A poem that seems to summarize this attitude of awe and thankfulness, and one which I've always found inspirational, is "Auguries of Innocence" by William Blake. He writes:

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

from Anthony Maulucci: Norwich Bulletin: Poetry, Thanksgiving go hand in hand
