Is it gratitude, or something else?

I want to say this is the season for gratitude,and that’s not wrong, but I’m also not 100%.I’m grateful, and I’m also confused and fearful and nauseous. Or I’m pedaling fast and furious, or hiding behind my screen.Greed, hatred, exhaustion, restlessness, doubt:they all co-exist in this heart and mind right now,alongside gratitude. So the question I’m asking myself is,how do I create enough space for everything?How can I be gentle with the way things are?What creates spaciousness and ease?Breath helps because it creates spaciousness: continuing to pay attention to the breath and the sense of the body, breathing, moment by moment. Love helps because it creates ease: continuing to be loving even with those who wear hats with slogans I can’t understand,and with myself when I feel like I should understand and be able to connect.  So, gratitude, spaciousness, and love. That’s what I wish for your Thanksgiving table next week,and for all of the ordinary days as well.
