Let me be grateful
For all I have in front of me
Let me not overlook what is
And the gifts inside
As I long for something
The Universe has decied that just for now
It will withhold
I know that in the past
I have lost sight of the true value
Of what was right in front of me
When I longed for something else
Sometimes I ransomed then
The gifts you gave
Whose true value
Was beyond price
And was lost on me
Through lack of right intention
So now I see before me
The rich deep soul in things
A beautiful lamp that glows
Comforting hum of an oven
With promise of food
That others are denied
The saftey and warmth of shelter
On an icy winter night
And most of an open heart
That has attained the capacity to love
Despite past pain
And the ability to know
Despite all hunger and all past suffering
How deeply and richly and truely
I am blessed
Emerging From The Dark Night 
This is so hopeful and warm. Thank you… Often, with so many challenges before us, we forget how many blessings we have just the same. It is important to remember and consciously identify all of the beauty that exists in our life, just the same as it is to name and acknowledge the darkness.
