Piggly Wiggly

Tonight I am grateful for Bess’ tail happily swinging all the time. I am grateful for Arch Echo, a very cool band. I am grateful for Ben and Jerry’s non-dairy Cherry Garcia, I think it’s better than the real thing. I am grateful to be engaged in “the work” nearly all of the time, grateful

Slowness

I am grateful this morning for non-attachment, the “What’s So”, for the Hermetic Seal, and equanimity, for so many ways of saying the same thing. I am grateful for slowness, for time to watch the leaves in the wind waving their hallucinatory wave and the clouds morphing as they cruise on by. I’m grateful for

Committed

Tonight I am grateful to be writing my gratitude late in the day, sticking to my commitment. I am grateful to have had company today, for great conversation and for time just flying.

Student Becomes the Teacher

This morning I am grateful to clear the space, to say it all fully and with authenticity, to get out all the yuck in order to be free. I am grateful for the perfect sourdoughs that I baked yesterday, my best yet. I am grateful for my eagerness to learn, ability to draw parallels, and

Shake it off

This morning I am grateful that I can do whatever I want everyday and that mostly what I want to do is nothing, grateful to have and practice in the context of being-ness. I am grateful to learn that until I make my internal state known, most people have no idea what’s going on in

Movement

This morning I am grateful to clear out stagnant energies, organizing my external environment to make space in my mind. I am grateful to connect with my sister finally, to see my niece and nephew growing so quickly. I am grateful for resourcefulness and creativity, to see opportunity everywhere, and to take action when I

Everyday

This morning I am grateful for sleep, to rest my mind and body, for fun and exciting dreams. I am grateful for my morning routines and for the reminders of the importance of practices like these. I am grateful for great conversations with friends. Photo-Jamie Fenn

Put it in the Bank

This morning I am grateful to know that commitment over time adds up, that’s value in the bank. I’m grateful for the scribbles and the chaff and the chaos of the moment, gratefully receiving the emergent new patterns and adjusting my workflow accordingly. I am grateful for the intimacy and open-spaces of the city, walks
