The Big Seven



Guess who's 7 today?! Yep. It's Big pup's birthday. My firstborn...my sweet baby...my little boy...my...oh, no, I'm getting a bit verclempt. Talk among yourselves, here's a topic--William Blake's use of mysticism in nature and how that relates to truth--discuss.


Infant Joy by William Blake


"I have no name:
I am but two days old."
What shall I call thee?
"I happy am,
Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!


Pretty joy!
Sweet joy but two days old,
Sweet joy I call thee:
Thou dost smile,
I sing the while,
Sweet joy befall thee!

  1. Happy Birthday Big Pup!

    I so remember seven. I loved seven. :) There are days when I look at my 13 year old and wish we could go back - mostly so I don't have to think about him out in the big bad world himself. But, really, I wouldn't go back.

    Enjoy every moment. And Happy Day!
