The very beginning

I would like to begin my English blog with a grook ‘Prayer’ by Piet Hein:

Prayer
to the sun above the clouds

Sun that givest all things birth,
shine on everything on earth!

If that’s too much to demand,
shine at least on this our land.

If even that’s too much for thee,
shine at any rate on me.

Isn’t it beautiful and even deep? And so suitable to my situation right now…
