WRITES OF PASSAGE

* image source ~ WingMakers Movie*
Just for today:
Go to your heart and ask “Who am I grateful for?”
As an image, a memory, an inspiration surfaces – trust and
follow this inner prompting.
Now write a thank you note to this person.
Allow your heart to guide your hand as you relate,
appreciate and edify another for their gift of
Gratitude to you! Let go of any pressure to deliver this
message. Rather – focus on content, essence and expression
of the full-ness of Gratitude brimming within.
***
Go Gratitude!
***
Remember – as you appreciate others for their gifts to you,
an energetic portal of universal support is opened,
accelerating the Law of Attraction to deliver more.
***
A psychology professor at the University of Michigan,
Peterson regularly gave his students an unusual homework
assignment. He asked them to write a “gratitude letter,” a
kind of belated thank-you note to someone in their lives.
Studies show such letters provide long-lasting mood boosts
to the writers. Indeed, after the exercise, Peterson says his
students feel happier “100 percent of the time.”

Day 25 – DRIFT TOO SHIFT

*source ~ unknown*
As Gratitude becomes a waking pattern within YOU,
so it will be with others, too!
***
Go Gratitude!
***
Just for today:
Remember to practice Gratitude as you drift to sleep and
Wake to Dream, flowing beyond thoughts to breathe with
ease … in and out, give and receive. This silent prayer of
Gratitude, as emitted by the multitudes, creates an ebb
and flow ~ a gentle shifting ~ during this time of
mass-transformation.
Listen … do you feel it?
A world waking to Love and Gratitude, drifting to
shift peacefully as One.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …

ROOTED IN GRATITUDE

* source ~ unknown*
Consider …
Just as Gratitude is give and receive, so it is, too, with trees.
These grow both up and down (branch and root),
continually exchange water, ground us in the NOW
and offer comfort, protection, and a daily changing
view.
Just for today :
Let’s give thanks for our arboreal friends, their verdant
presence and watery essence as living, loving messengers
of time.
Look around for a nearby tree. Breathe deeply it’s vibrant
nature. Take a moment to appreciate it’s unique-ness,
stage of growth, and continual state of change … as
well as it’s subtle way of mirroring the symbol of Gratitude,
like this:

* tree rings*

*leaf stomata*

* tree knot*
***
Go Gratitude!
***
Remember, the Buddha attained enlightenment under the
Bodhi tree, then expressing Gratitude for its’ shelter and
assistance in his emancipation. Perhaps it’s time to sit
a bit and listen, listen again, then listen deeply to
the tree next to thee.

THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU

Just for today:
Thank you for being YOU.
Fully, completely, ever-so-sweetly let this
flow of Love and Gratitude permeate every
nano-aspect of the Divine being called You.
In every way possible, spend today giving thanks
to you … Remember, as you do, you are setting a
pattern for others to follow, too.
***
Go Gratitude!
***
To expand and magnify this exercise:
Imagine yourself as a newborn, an infant,
a child, teen, young adult~ and so on ~ until
you connect all with Now. At each stage, give
thanks for your unique-ness, talents, and
timely experiences. Allow all aspects of you to come
together, as One in Love and Gratitude.

SOLE GRATITUDE

*artwork by Douglas Blair – “Barefoot in the rain”*
Our bodies are animated earth, embracing Love’s light.
Our feet ~ the seat of under-standing
and platforms for graceful landing ~
give us the ability to quickly shift, to raise our view,
to travel, dance, and explore the (k)new.
Just for today …
Consider directly connecting feet to earth,
grounding yourself in Gratitude. As you do,
imagine a vortex of light flowing through your
soles to the center of the Earth.
Now witness this flow returning to you,
sole-fully connecting all who stand as Gratitude.
***
Go Gratitude!
***
Remember, our feet represent our under-standing,
our ability to perceive the wisdom of the journey
~ this, too, is the gift of Gratitude.
Now, openly ask yourself:
What great feats have your feet greeted, too?
What (k)new wisdom will your soul/soles lead
you to?
What truths are hidden just under the surface,
supporting waking dreams, delivering you
to your purpose?
***
Olivier Manitara shares this on Gratitude:
Stand in living nature, between the earth and the sky.
Feel the earth under your feet; feel how the earth carries
you and holds you up.
Feel the infinite sky above you; it inspires, straightens,
and elevates you.
In the sky, think of the origin of your spirit and
of your intelligence.
In the sky, think of the origin of your eternal soul, of the
higher universal consciousness.
In the earth, think of the origin of your terrestrial soul,
of your individual consciousness.
Feel yourself as a living union of the forces of the sky and
the earth, of the infinite and the development.
Kneel on the ground, and with your right hand, dig a little
hole in the earth.
Put your hands together in front of the center of your chest
(mystical heart), in the sign of prayer and inner union with
heaven and earth within you.
In this sacred posture, let a beautiful light, a force, a
presence of the heaven flow through you: the omnipresence
of the Father of all living beings. You can imagine a diamond
light, transparent like pure water.
Bend down with love before Mother Earth, and place your
hands around the little hole. Bend down completely so that
your mouth is laid on your hands.
Offer then by your word the “thank you” of heaven to
Mother Earth; offer also the “thank you” of your heart, and,
through it, the “thank you” of the heart of humanity.

(H)EART OF YOU

*image courtesy of Daniel B. Holeman*
Gratitude is a gift of Love,
flowing from our sacred heart space ~
a timely reflection of our heavenly presence on earth.
So let’s consider a (k)new view,
that perhaps the heart of the earth is YOU.
here we GO …
simply move the first to last, like this:
(H)EART to EART(H)
worlds within worlds,
micro to macro ~ Alpha and Omega ~
beginning to end
~ we are connected as ONE.
***
Go Gratitude!
***
just imagine …
it’s simply a matter of changing views,
as Gratitude reveals (k)new worlds within YOU.
***
A gratitude-heart
Is to discover on earth
A Heaven-delivered rose.
- Sri Chinmoy
