\nWhat happens in us and between us when we learn to live on the inside of wonder, amazement, and deep gratefulness for the life we have been given - all of it?
\n
\nMight gratitude, indeed, be exactly what is called for in order for us to turn towards the world with all its difficulties and all its suffering, with the energy, creativity and love to do something about it all?
\n

\nHere's our source for this week:
\n
\nThanks\xa0
\n
\nInside each honest thank you
\nis a giant open-air pavilion
\nbeside a curving and generous pond
\n
\nthat reflects the sky and is home
\nto cormorants, white egrets,
\nturtles, and humble ducks.
\n
\nThere is laughter that rings
\nthrough the archways,
\nwonder that wanders the paths.
\n
\nThere are angels that circle
\neach thank you spoken with love,
\nwhether we believe in angels or not.
\n
\nEvery sincere expression of thanks
\nis a choice to meet what is good in the world
\nand to honor it with our attention.
\n
\nThere are thousands and thousands
\nof reasons to forget we are grateful,
\nand yet just one genuine thank you
\n
\nbuilds an improbable palace
\nout of the moment, fills it with beauty,
\nshares it with the world, asks nothing in return.
