Beach Ball Gratitude

Beach Ball Gratitude 1 Tom Hanks in that movie had a substitute one. He drew a face on it. Called it Wilson (not Rita). It helped him keep his wits while castaway. And keep his hopes up and eventually Get him all the way back to the continent… Back (sort of) to the life he had before. 2 With a flat and pliable, real beach ball. You must work it to make it go round. And (unlike Wilson) must awaken it from flat to sphere. Inflate it with your own breath and attitude. Speak it up with positive self-talk. Till it’s light and easy to keep off the ground. 3 Once up in this atmosphere, Your goal becomes keeping it, not only inflated, But up in the air. Not touching the ground! A light, delicate maneuvering strategy Tapping with fingertips helps with this And with sending it over to another, then another. Around the circle, the town. Around the world. 4 If it should get away from you, It will stay aloft for a bit on its own And when eventually touching down again Perhaps in a field of tall scrap grass or Out over or upon a body of water It will float and not go under. It may re-lift all on its own Or will, at least, be easily retrievable. 5 So it is with our personal attitude When inflated with positive air, it becomes gratitude Easily floated through inner space Where it entertains notions of getting passed ‘round And swelling into an even greater sphere of graltitude: Positronic attitudes abound at higher altitudes.
