The song of the mountain range in the valley flies from one escarpment to the other. On the grey cold windy mornings, this song of gratitude seems less significant than the mornings when it is fresh and still, the blossoms are blooming gratitude from the birds is heard through the dynamic sounds of more birds louder in their action.
We can forget our enjoyment and when we remember, when we are running, listening, looking, and seeing, when we are doing our practice and we smile at the natural beauty, gratitude becomes more heartfelt.
And you Can say thank you, And you can smile widely. A part of surrender to yourself and to whoever and whatever. The antidote to many challenges and a generator of strength and action, calm and energised. This is where gratitude gets you. On a path to surrender.
Exhale. Then inhale deeply with a smile, feel the chest expand breathe in, smile at the beauty of nature. Exhale release the expectation of releasing expectation, just release. Inhale smile, giggle even laugh out loud at the world’s natural beauty. The remarkable simple and complex beauty. Exhale feel strength through our intimate connection and surrender to that beauty.
