Gratitude

So in getting the music out, I have limited options.

I want this one to come out, which is kinda a first. I am actually wanting to feel the waves of this ocean. The one I cannot possible swim well in, but I want to. For now I will let the waves touch my feet, lap at my toes.
I am actually going to learn to play the music. The words are there. I hear them more clearly everytime. This one I will embrace. I don't have the ability to learn it well or fast, but I will learn to play and hear it.

In order to allow the whole process, being open is going to be key. I thought the best place to start would be our gratitude exercise.

Five things I am grateful for today.
1. I am grateful for five wonderful little people who came into my life and made it complete. Without them I would have been lost long ago.

2. I am grateful to be human. To have the capacity to experiance pain and sorrow so that I can also know joy and love. That the bitter and the sweet can be just that.

3. I am grateful for all that is in the world that testifies nothing is in vain; that there is a purpose and a plan and an order to all thing. Even when most of the time I don't know what that is.

4. I am grateful for music. In my limited talent and ability, it is powerful. Music is the voice of my heart and frees my soul to heights I have never seen.

5. I am grateful for rainbows. No matter how great the storm, how loud the thunder, how fierce the rain, it cannot last forever. When the storm has run its course and abaited, the sun will shine again. And then will come the rainbow. The one sign from the Universe itself that all is well and there is a purpose. That I am not forgotten.


Where can I turn for peace? Where is my solace? When other sources cease to make me whole?
When with my wounded heart, anger or malace? Where when my aching grows, where in my need to know, where can I run?
Who, who can understand?
Love without end.
