Fellow Steemians,
I donât know much, but I do know that we cannot complain, yet still learn and grow, at the same time. So, today on Thanksgiving Day (in the USA) Iâm trying to be thankful for the good, the bad and what I do not understand...
I am also gratitude to All of You for being there through it allâlistening, sharing, challenging, reminding, educating, consoling, inspiring, and celebrating with me the big and small.
May you never be short of blessings to count and loved ones to share them with. _/|\_
In the spirit of gratitude, below, an uplifting poem and quote:
The world unravels always,
and it must be rewoven time and time again.
You must keep collecting threadsâthreads of meaning,
threads of hope, threads of purpose, energy and willâ
along with all the knowledge, skill that every weaver needs.
You must keep on weavingâstopping sometimes only
to repair your broken loomâweave a cloak of warmth
and light against the dark and cold, a cloak in which
to wrap whoever comes to you in needâthe world
with all its suffering, those near at hand, yourself.
â-Parker J. Palmer
(Hereâs another peek inside our home)
The heart, after being purified from the things that destroy (al-muhlikat), soon becomes filled with the things that save (al-munjiyat).. .thanksgiving, patience, fear, hope, poverty, asceticism, love, satisfaction, longing, trust, meditation, examination of conscience.
âAlGhazali, The Marvels of the Heart
So, Happy Holidays, if you celebrate, & Peace to All if you do not (we do not need a special occasion to be grateful)
