20.01.2022 GRATITUDE is not a passive response to something given to us, gratitude arises from paying attention, from being awake in the presence of everything that lives ...within and without us. Gratitude is not necessarily something that is shown after the event, it is the deep, a-priori state of attention that shows we understand and are equal to the gifted nature of life. Gratitude is the understanding that many millions of things come together and live together and mesh together and breathe together in order for us to take even one more breath of air, that the underlying gift of life and incarnation as a living, participating human being is a privilege, that we are miraculously, part of something, rather than nothing. Even if that something is temporarily pain or despair, we inhabit a living world, with real faces, real voices, laughter, the color blue, the green of the fields, the freshness of a cold wind, or the tawny hue of a winter landscape. To see the full miraculous essentiality of the color blue is to be grateful with no necessity for a word of thanks. To see fully, the beauty of a daughter’s face is to be fully grateful without having to seek a God to thank him. To sit among friends and strangers, hearing many voices, strange opinions; to intuit inner lives beneath surface lives, to inhabit many worlds at once in this world, to be a someone amongst all other someones, and therefore to make a conversation without saying a word, is to deepen our sense of presence and therefore our natural sense of thankfulness that everything happens both with us and without us, that we are participants and witness all at once. Thankfulness finds its full measure in generosity of presence, both through participation and witness. We sit at the table as part of every other person’s world while making our own world without will or effort, this is what is extraordinary and gifted, this is the essence of gratefulness, seeing to the heart of privilege. Thanksgiving happens when our sense of presence meets all other presences. Being unappreciative simply means we are not paying attention. 2013 David Whyte Excerpted from ‘GRATITUDE’ From the upcoming book of essays CONSOLATIONS: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words.

14.01.2022 Dead Poets Society - the Robin Williams I remember most - an English teacher who inspired his students and implored them to strive for meaning in their lives. In a pivotal scene, Williams tells his students We don't read and write poetry because it’s cute, we read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. He goes on to quote Walt Whitman’s O Me! O Life!, a poem that ends by speaking directly to its readers: The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. Williams then turns to his students and asks What will your verse be? Thank you Robin Williams.

09.01.2022 Every Moment is the Guru Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment.
