The understanding that to practise gratefulness is necessary for living a good life came to me late for I had misused my intellect to prevent myself from true and simple insights that, it seemed to me, did not do justice to my complex and complicated nature.
Yet when, finally, I started to identify what I could be grateful for something inside me changed profoundly. I'm, for instance, immensely grateful for having had my parents, for having survived brain surgery, for having fallen in love etc. I'm however also grateful for being a container for a heart that beats, for breathing in and breathing out, for having thoughts and emotions that hardly ever make sense (and they don't have to, they only need to be experienced).
To see life this way only became possible once I let go of my old ideas that insisted on understanding and making sense according to my cause-and-effect way of thinking. This thinking is fine for organising your daily chores, for going through the day. It is however less than useful when trying to experience reality.
I'm particularly grateful for the moments that are not dominated by my conditioned self.
It's all a miracle. Thank you for this delightful dream!
