March The Thirty-First

I THANK THEE, my Creator and Lord, that Thou hast given me these joys in Thy creation, this ecstasy over the works of Thy hands. I have made known the glory of Thy works to men as far as my finite spirit was able to comprehend Thy infinity. If I have said anything wholly unworthy of Thee, or have aspired after my own flory, graciously forgive me - Amen.

- JOHANN KEPLER (1571-1630)
