Gratitude

Thank you, I breathe, as I accept this gift of life and the responsibilities that come with it. I will nurture it with gratitude, for that light helps all things to grow and thrive. I understand that my fears and hungers are rooted in love for this most treasured pleasure of being, and I will remember how the connection between love and suffering transforms the aches into new blossoms of gratitude. Satisfaction flowers eternally. I have only to claim it with a heart that is present and full with appreciation for the gift.
