Any change in attitude changes the way one sees the world, and this in turn changes the way one acts.

Each one of us is called to become that great song that comes out of the silence, and the more we let ourselves down into that great silence the more we become capable of singing that great song.

"The root of joy is gratefulness."

One single gift acknowledged in gratefulness has the power to dissolve the ties of our alienation.

A single crocus blossom ought to be enough to convince our heart that springtime, no matter how predictable, is somehow a gift, gratuitous, gratis, a grace.

Everything is a gift. The degree to which we are awake to this truth is a measure of our gratefullness, and gratefullness is a measure of our aliveness.

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