The Glory Of Eternal Life

"Silently a flower blooms,
In silence it falls away;
Yet here now, at this moment,

at this place,
The world of the flower,

the whole of
the world is blooming.
This is the talk of the flower,

the truth of the blossom:
The glory of eternal life is fully

shining here."
Zenkei Shibayama

"I go to nature

to be soothed and healed,

and to have my senses put in order."

John Burroughs

Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website
