A meditation, written as a poem and prayer, for remembrance of ways we are truly blessed…

Creator and Sustainer
I am grateful
for all the pure and loving blessings
I have received in my life.

I am grateful
You have come to me
through the caring of my friends
and that You have
worked through my caring actions
for the comfort of my friends.

I am grateful You have inspired me
to look for more than meets
physical, mental and emotional views
by providing disappointments in those areas
that I may seek out Your Presence
in that quality that can never
be taken from me -- Infinite Lovingness.
Lovingness for my family, friends, creation
manifestations of Your Self
Your own lovingness.

I am grateful to always be able to reach
for your hand of guidance by following
the direction of my conscience.
I am grateful to feel unconditionally loved by You
as I love unconditionally.

I am grateful to be able to tune my inner heart
to Your divine music whenever I choose
letting myself rise within Your uplifting presence.

And most of all I am ever grateful
for my time as a human
To be able to love and feel love
with all my body, mind, heart, soul, spirit.
