2. The Freedom of Thanksgiving
The greatest liberating power on earth is gratitude. Present to one's own life, practicing the intentional naming of daily blessings causes one to see again, in its immediacy, the life-giving power of the bread, the cup; the in-breath, the out-breath.
Paying attention to what we consume and the comforts of our daily rhythms can constitute a sort of unending mindfulness which has little space for comparison or envy which can so quickly captivate us.
Set free from unawareness and an indifference to the gifted and multilayered nature extant amidst the wondrous complexities of the world surrounding us, we at last know how to receive properly and also how to share. Remembering this leaves me wanting to give as I have received.
