Speak with Authority
(Taylor Mali on Def Poetry, 3:03)
My Birthday
Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, – a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.
—George Herbert
(It’s the same poem I posted last year. I haven’t come across anything more appropriate, nor do I really expect to.)

Probably because I spent a couple of months working on this, I’m just not quite ready to let it go yet, so I strung together my work-in-progress photos and made a movie (1:51). However, I started my next painting today, so this will probably be the last you hear of this one.
