As We End this Year
By Amba Gale
Let
the opportunity of these times
fill your heart with gratefulness.
Can you not see
that everything around you
is calling for a new perspective
and that you
are hungry for
learning the gifts being offered at this time?
Can you not see
that the world is calling
for you
to open your eyes,
open your heart,
be
generous with yourself
and, yes, with others, too
in new ways,
ways you now need to invent
and then step into.
Allow your sails to be filled with Grace.
It takes a grateful heart
alert
to all the gifts
which you are being given
in each moment.
Especially the gift of life.
Let go
of your expectations and assumptions.
Let go
of comparison as a way of life.
Let go
Of the need to have your life
Be just this way or that.
Let go
Of your “shoulds” and “oughts”
and maybe, even,
some of your promises.
Let go
of your need to fix everything and everyone
or help everything and everyone,
including and maybe, especially, yourself.
Turn the kaleidoscope through which you are looking just one notch.
Right or left, it does not matter.
Just one notch
and see the world with new eyes.
Listen the world with new heart.
Let your body be fluid enough and filled with joy.
Let Gratefulness be your new name.
