Go Gratitude Masterkey

Here is an inspiring site to visit GiveMeTheMasterKey Stacey Robyn seems to have had something of a life changing eureka moment whilst on retreat and is now totally inspired to create a million person wave of gratitude across the planet. This is rather timely seeing as it is Thanksgiving in the US on Thursday 24-11-05.

I am a big fan of gratitude. If ever you feel fearful, depressed, or angry etc. just see if you can begin to experience feelings of gratitude. Gratitude for anything, a pleasant memory, the beauty of a friend or child. Your mood cannot fail to lift in the presence or genuine gratitude. Yes, life is good but it can indeed be a right drama as well. Never forget to be grateful and if you have forgotten why not begin to remember?

I posted a poem about gratitude. Here it is again.

On Gratitude

Do you feel the warmth of your heart?
Or some gossamer thread of tangible feeling
Stirring inconspicuously in a forgotten realm
Visible perhaps only to those outside of you?
Yet, some vague memory holds sway

Step aside from these idle doodles
And remember gratitude, yes, gratitude.
It seems loss not gain
Surely I lost a little by my reliance on you?
An unnamed void of numbness rests unfelt yet familiar

Now is the day to choose anew
Time again to risk a feeling beyond the reason of the reasonable
I look upon my flesh and feel my life
I look upon my child and feel my joy
I look to the stars and see my light

Feel the space between these shapes
Feel the space between my breaths
The rich fullness of the void
The formless forms awaiting witness
Adding meaning to the known

Little more than that is required
A choice, one or maybe two
The silent recognition of the unfelt
Is the doorway to the richness of feelings
Do you feel the warmth of your heart?

Offering only hope not pain
Is pain but little more than emptiness unseen?
Now gratitude arises with intention
And intention follows the direction of the mind
Do you feel the warmth of your heart?
