Everything is a gift. The degree to which we are awake to this truth is a measure of our gratefullness. Day and night, gifts keep pelting down on us. If we were aware of this, gratefulness would overwhelm us. But we go through life in a daze.

Gratefulness is the key to a happy life, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy — because we will always want to have something else or something more.

~Brother David Steindl-Rast

why is life so beautiful? how can I remember?

inquiry for today~ take good care of today….

for all that is pure…..

Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.

~Chuang Tzu
