In the midst of chores can there be gratitude – or only when chores are done? Just the other morning while hanging up my pants there was full Gratitude as I watched my hand placing the pants on a hook. There was nothing else in that moment but that. Although there was a lot scheduled for that day without projection of what still 'needs' to be done there was no missing what is Now. Gratitude now as we take a step, wash a dish, chop the onions … nothing else but this. During this busy season, may each of us know this Gratitude more and more deeply as we are fully present to and enjoy whatever we are now doing. A Grateful Heart Sees Beauty and Feels Joy Now
Love Notices – Forgetfulness Tries
Love is free of all strategy
Freedom in relationships is honored when we know and honor our own freedom.

It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face."
