Cultivating Gratitude

Good morning dear Ones,

Naturally, the season that is enveloping us, certainly in the US, is one of gratitude offering, of gratitude being. Gratitude for what we have and what so many in the world do not have.

I was recently reading about the Exodus, the 40-year journey that the descendants of Abraham took in the Egyptian desert to reach the promised land of milk and honey. The word that came very often in the description of this journey is ‘grumbling.’ The grumbling of the masses because of their harsh conditions, the lack of food and water, the inept leadership of Moses, and so many other things.

Come to reflect on it, what matters is what we send out into the universe. Grumbling and complaining shut our hearts tight and do not allow for grace, insights or miracles to flow in; even little every day miracles, like an unexpected smile or gesture.

Rather than pitying ourselves on what we don’t have, or what we cannot do, let’s cultivate a genuine attitude of appreciation for life, and for what is given to us.

It may be an important attitude this year around, as we are about to close the year 2023, more than in any others years. I am not sure why I am writing this but this is what feels aligned with the direction where we are heading.

Let’s invite the good, the healthy, and the bountiful and let’s anchor in our lives an attitude of gratitude and reverence.

Gratitude as well for being present at this crucial juncture for humanity, on the path of what may very well be another promised land.

Please join us this Thursday as we celebrate gratitude and open our hearts.

About new desert

Nurturing the Gift of Seeking is about a spiritual "destination," a journey within, a new beginning, that eventually takes us where we are meant to arrive. Some call it Home, yet I am not sure what Home means, and where it is. Enjoy the journey, dear Ones! On this journey, what matters, first and foremost, is our seeking spirit. And the seed of perseverance--or faith, if you will. Happy journey, dear fellow Sisters and Brothers!
