Saying grace

It is not poetic license to say we are luminous creatures. We eat the sunlight that plants convert into starch for our dietary benefit. Thank you, rice. Thank you, grains. Thank you, sun.

Get it!

We are instructed by a consumer culture to want what we don’t have. ‘Do you have this? Get it!’ As a consequence, we become blind to what we do have, inhabiting a self-created demimonde where the light of gratitude is a dead wick.

Old friend

Let’s not say that you have inoperable cancer. Let’s say your body does.

Coming to our senses

I know a man who went from fearing everything to fearing nothing. He tells me that his senses have sharpened, that he sees and hears with more acuity and that food tastes better.

More than I need

An attitude of gratitude releases opportunity. Gratitude recognizes surplus. It pours itself out.
