“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.”
~ Denis Waitley
If we can learn to live
Without desire
We can find peace
The mother of it all
Freedom, that has no name
And names can be changed
To suit the needs of the time
But the secrets to living
Are as old as life itself
There is a deep mystery
Around giving thanks
That gratitude, that is its own gate
A prayer that asks not
Anything for itself
But rather, enobles the offering
I am grateful to be part
Of the world
I am grateful to be part
Of society
I am grateful to be alive
Beneath this cosmos
Where beauty and truth
Are actually so wondrous
I feel the non-existence
Behind all that grows and dies
In time, I feel the energy
In space itself, between
Mountains and the sky
And how the trees give
Back to the air
And how the rivers
Sooth the aching earth.
