Gratitude
On this eve of Thanksgiving, what else can one write, but words that offer thanks?
So many places to start. But I think I’ll simply name a few small things. Things easy to overlook, but important not to miss.
like ladybugs
and shoestrings
inside pockets
toothpaste
whispering
and winks
like cranberries
pens and paper
treasure baskets
warm bread
soap
homegrown tomatoes
shells
whistling
chocolate
skipping
candles
crows
and hugs.
In each tiny thanksgiving
is a universe of praise
just waiting to be given birth
or laid to rest
according to its season.
Amyn.
