Episode 146: Practicing Gratitude

May 19, 2025 Gratitude works. It changes our body – our physiology. Itchanges our mind - our approach and attitude. It changes our heart – from onethat is closed to one that is open. It taps into our souls and transcendsnegativity, division, and isolation. Today we will slowly walk through eachstake of our tent, giving gratitude for all parts of ourselves and gratitudefor all parts of life itself. One day in summer When everything Has already been more than enough The wild beds start Exploding open along the berm Of the sea; day after day You sit near them; day after day The honey keeps on coming In the red cups and the bees Like amber drops roll In the petals; there is no end, Believe me! To the inventions of summer To the happiness your body Is willing to bear The Roses, Mary Oliver
