 I experience Gratitude whenever I …
- have a profound realization that I am in this world but not of it.
- recognize the unyielding and ubiquitous messages of love and reassurance surrounding me.
- translate acts of hate as cries for love.
- ask for the unsolvable problem to be solved and it is.
- watch an unstoppable fear dissolve in seconds, just because I asked.
- realize that my grievances are attacks on myself and I stop.
- remember that I am innocent of any crime.
- realize that the only forgiveness necessary is the forgiveness of myself for believing that I have done something wrong.
- remember that I need do nothing to have my true spiritual connection.
- have an unspeakable recognition that I have not been left here to die, that in fact, death is not real.
- realize that I have been and always will be embraced by something so profoundly loving that it defies everything I have ever experienced or believed.
- know, without doubt that I have never left the lap of the Divine who embraces me while I have this dream of separation.
