Gratitude is a gracious recognition of all that sustains us, a bow. Gratitude is the trust in life itself. Inside, we feel how the same force that pushes grass through cracks in the pavement invigorates our own life....Gratitude receives in wonder the myriad offerings of rain and sun, the care that supports every single life.
I thank You God for most this wonderful
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
And a blue true dream and
which is natural that is infinite which is yes
”Thank you” is a massive mind-shift, from thinking that God desires our joyful yak and a public demonstration and is deeply interested in our opinions of the folks we hate, to feeling quiet gratitude, humbly and amazingly, without shame at having been so blessed.
Near-death experiences and meetings with one's own mortality are frequently clarifying tools with which to cut away inessentials and cleave to the essence. Illnesses and injuries can create precisely the same reinvigorated gratitude and appetite.
Gratitude is a method of undercutting your egotism....That awakening, that consciousness, transforms your manner of coping with life, with people, and with all things.
To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we have been supported by the planet around us.
It seems that bliss--a second-by-second joy gratitude of being alive, aware at the present --lies of beating, crushing indifference, in another side. Pay careful focus on the most tedious thing you can find (tax returns, golf that is televised) and, in waves, a boredom like you have never known will wash over you and just about kill you. Ride these out, and it is like stepping from black and white into color. Like water after days. Constant bliss in every atom.
Allow the beauty we love be what we do. There are numerous methods to kneel and kiss the ground.
