Pausing along this trek,
as sacred depths turn soulward,
we sing a silence born of thanksgiving.
Our grace of gratitude stems from
an interior joy,
from being aware of sorrows and happiness.
Gratitude unlocks the richness of life.
It remembers thanks we owe, wipes away the dust
of confusion, and turns problems into blessings.
Thankful for gifts of sunlight and shadow, we warm.
Grateful spirits understand happiness;
thanksgiving's art is gratitude in action.
