Ceaseless singing might get me hauled away by the neighbors. We could be cell mates!

Nature is my teacher of gratitude,
Surfing is my way to show this appreciation of life,
Smiling at each person I meet is how I practice,
and going to sleep each nite under the stars is my reward.

"In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy"

There is such contingent beauty in life:
The open window on summer mornings
Looking out on gardens and green things growing,
The shadowy cups of rose flowering to themselves-
Images of time and eternity-
Silence in the garden and felt along the walls.
The room is suddenly filled with sun,
Like a sacrament one can never be
Sufficiently thankful for. Door ajar,
The eye reaches across from one
Open window to another, eye to eye,
And then the healing spaces of the sky ......

- Alfred Leslie Rowse, 1903-

I am grateful to Ernest Holmes and his Daily Wisdom and to the Oneness Movement and its wonderfully deep Deeksha Givers for this inspiration:

The Realization of Oneness

The Realization of Oneness Lifts Us to Heaven on Earth

The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field...one who realizes this goes forth with joy, sells all of their things, and buyeth the field. Matthew 13:44

Because I am One with God, I am One with all people.
Because I am One with Life, I am One with everything that lives.
I feel my union with people and with nature.
I feel that I belong to Life.

I love life and I enter into the joy of living. I enter into the companionship with others, into cooperation with them. And I know that something within me reaches out and embraces the whole world. Something with me blesses everything it touches, brings life and happiness and joy to everyone. Something within me acts as a healing balm, restoring everything to its natural and fruitive Perfection.

As I silently listen to Spirit within me and think of Its Perfection, I know that I am being born into joy and hope and gladness, born into love and faith and assurance.

Silently I release every negative thought from my mind, I release it and let it go. And I, too. pray "that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they may be one in us."Paraphrased from Ernest Holmes' Daily Wisdom (all above)

Joy is the realization of our soul's oneness with supreme love. Tagore
