“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.”

~ Meister Eckhart

in the light of awareness we can see that from cradle to grave, everything in this life  – including this life itself – is something given. even in our accomplishments, hidden within, is the gift of opportunity, & privilege of place & time.

it will sound silly to some, but when i go for walks, i thank each tree i pass for Being. without that tree, i wouldn’t be able to breathe. silly or not, it is a hard truth that i owe my oxygen breathing form of life to that tree & all others that provide for my breathing on this planet.

can we take some time today, to look at each area of our life, each relationship, & notice how we are impacted? can we take it a step further, & look at the hard stuff, the challenging stuff in our lives, & see what it can teach us? that too, can be a gift.

gratitude is a spiritual practice, an exercise in awareness & opening of heart, for all that is given & for the interdependent nature of life itself.

grateful for all of you. thank you for Being.
