Love is saying yes to belonging.

...our happiness hinges not on good luck; it hinges on peace of heart.

The greatest gift one can give is thanksgiving. In giving gifts, we give what we can spare, but in giving thanks we give ourselves.

Love is saying yes to belonging.

Look closely and you will find that people are happy because they are grateful. The opposite of gratefulness is just taking everything for granted.

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.

As I express my gratitude, I become more deeply aware of it. And the greater my awareness, the greater my need to express it. What happens here is a spiraling ascent, a process of growth in ever expanding circles around a steady center.
