When you’re
seeking something
to be grateful for,
look upon the sunset
and recall
how wonderful it is
that creation wasn’t formed
in only black and white.

May our minds flourish with creation, and may our hands never deny its expression.
When you’re
seeking something
to be grateful for,
look upon the sunset
and recall
how wonderful it is
that creation wasn’t formed
in only black and white.
I’ve been a lot of things:
eager
reserved
euphoric
morose
confused
and
incorrigible,
but, today,
I am only
thankful
to have you.
It is difficult to determine
whether
having a day set aside for gratitude
is a cause for celebration
or for shame.
We don’t ascribe days to
breathing
or
waking
or
thinking
because we do those things, always.
What a thorough humiliation
that we cannot say the same
for thankfulness.
As the pieces of your heart
gather around your feast,
may your food be gratitude
and your words be peace.
A day of reflection
for the treasures undeserved,
may your gratefulness overflow,
full and unreserved.
