Sometimes I feel like a fountain
Gratitude bursting forth
From the core of my being -
Shiny, glimmering threads
Of gratitude
For all that is,
And for all that has been.
Mostly they burst forth
For those who have heard
My pleas for help.
Those threads spread out
For you, for many.

Kate said...: Happy Thanksgiving to you too! It's lovely having an official day to celebrate gratitude and give thanks, isn't it? It's a day of no expectations (like Christmas and it's gift giving) other than celebrating our blessings. Your words are beautiful.; October 9, 2006 at 8:59 PM

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self. To place your ideas and your dreams before them is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He [or she] may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free."
