Gratitude is that Deep Listening
the Finding of Stillness
the Peering Beyond
that Knowing of Truth –
the truth that lies behind the matter of simply existing.
Gratitude is attention to undeserved good
It’s sunshine on my face
Birdsong
It’s returning to my breath
It’s the lesson of the creek: always moving, always flowing, never the same, always the same.
Gratitude is the waterfall: the churn and upheaval that brings oxygen and momentum and life
Gratitude is realising that
I am just a tiny leaf afloat on the creek
on a journey that I cannot yet see
