Thank you, O Universe, for the small mysteries that appear in the lens,
Like squash bees and syrphid flies and bees like green jewels.
Thank you for cardinals and blue jays and goldfinches.
Thank you for giant squid and jellyfish and bomber worms.
Thank you for tigers and cats and people with too much free time.
Thank you for galaxies and ice volcanoes and eclipses.
Thank you for people who want to live out their lives on Mars.
Baffled as I am by why any of this should exist,
Thank you, O Mystery, for the universe.
