Love more. Ourselves, each other, the natural world. Grateful for this capacity of the heart and mind. Today, yes, and everyday.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 61

Miracles. Indeed, the knowing itself is a miracle. Grateful for hummingbirds and wings, for feet and roots, for sky and sea. All of it.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 60
Journey-work. A leaf of grass, a blade of nature. All miracles, all mysteries. Us, too. And our daily journey-work. This breath, this moment. Thank you Walt Whitman.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 58
Pattern. Grateful for nature's patterns, shapes and forms. Snow crystals, leaves, feathers, skin, branches. We each have our own unique part to play.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 57
Snow. Snow! Everywhere snow! Afternoon snowshoe through the woods. Fresh tracks, sun waning. Grateful for every flake.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 56
Slow. Grateful for this timeless reminder from wise Lao Tzu. A snowy walk through the wind and wildness. Quiet capsule of light and warmth inside. Yes, yes, yes to the slow.

Winter solitude. Yes, grateful for snow's quiet embrace. The cocoon of Winter. The solitary sound of snow falling.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 54
Senses. So very grateful for taste, touch, smell, sight, sound. And for the beauty of sharing food, wine, wonders, and winter with a table-full of friends.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 53
Wonders. From the tiniest of mysteries comes some of our grandest friends in nature (oak, maple, redwood). Grateful for wonderment, grateful for seeds.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 52
Forget all I was taught. Sometimes beginners mind is the quickest way to the present moment. Nothing else to think about. Just this.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 51
Outside. Yes, the best remedy for so many things is to go outside. Grateful for big sky, infinite stars. And the perspective that comes from being an infinitesimal part of it all.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 50
Petal by Petal. Grateful for the process of opening slowly. Layer by layer. From the inside out. So I can feel and know and simply BE.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 49
Let go. Trees, yes. Birds and bees, rain clouds and seasons. All of nature holding on and letting go. So much to learn from and observe. Thank you May Sarton for your exquisite noticings and your words.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 48
I'm Nobody. Something so deeply refreshing about letting go of all the daily human effort to be a somebody, doing something. Words, actions, fashion, beliefs, books, politics. It's never-ending. Grateful for this reminder from the ever-wise Emily.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 47
Something opens our wings. Yes, something indeed. Mystery, nature, the seen, the unseen, the heart, the mind. Grateful for this radiant unknown that moves within and around us.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 46
Home. All shapes and sizes. Big ones, small ones. Open ones, closed ones. Soft ones, hard ones. May all beings be safe and protected.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 45
Light. Yes, so many things that only light can do. Reveal footprints, warm a cold face, dance on water--dispel this certain darkness.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 44
Capture your heart. What captures your heart? And leaves it full, tugged, open, tender, wise? Grateful for the capacity of the heart and mind to feel so deeply, to be moved.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 43
Be a light unto yourself. Yes. Some of the most important work we can do is discover how to do this.

365 Days of Gratitude: Day 42
New eyes. To meet the familiar landscapes of our experience freshly, as if for the first time. Grateful for this adventure, this encouragement.
