Gratitude is what we are without a story.
Arguing with reality it like trying to teach a cat to bark.
You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
Even breathing is a contribution.
Who cares if you're enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now?
The miracle of love comes to you in the presence of the uninterpreted moment. If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life.
