11-15-25

I wander across the landscape that presents itself.

I do not choose what my life will be, I choose how I will perceive

what is presented.

This morning there is no moon, no artificial light, nothing to hide the

gathering of stars.

I choose to stay, I will not run away, held by the moment.

This moonless peaceful morning slowly passes into memory.

I feel gratitude for the simplicity of the moment.

Coming to understand, gratitude is not just a feeling, it is a perception.

My gratitude cannot be selective, my gratitude must be universal,

Or it isn’t gratitude it is selfishness.
