Gratefulness is the inner gesture of giving meaning to our life by receiving life as gift.

Through people that I did know or through things that I did touch, I am connected with everything that ever was and everything that ever will be. Everything hangs together with everything.

Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise then you will discover the fullness of your life.

The antidote to exhaustion may not be rest. It may be wholeheartedness. You are so exhausted because all of the things you are doing are just busyness. There's a central core of wholeheartedness totally missing from what you're doing.

Faith is the courageous confidence that trusts in the Source of all gifts.

"The root of joy is gratefulness."

As we learn to give thanks for all of life and death, for all of this given world of ours, we find a deep joy. It is the joy of trust, the joy of faith in the faithfulness at the heart of all things. It is the joy of gratefulness in touch with the fullness of life.
