Gratitude Awakens
A Five Line Tribute to Gratitude
The ups and downs, petty rigours, and busyness of life make Gratitude difficult to celebrate. But thankfulness manifests more to be grateful for.
So we embrace it, with the help of our five senses. Here’s a 5-line tribute to the Universe for what we have.

Dawn’s gentle breath pulls me from night’s shell,
The scent of dew-drenched earth brings life afresh.
A flash of warmth laces with my fingertips,
Whispers of morning reside on Silences’ border,
The sweetness of the wind, Gratitude’s vow kept.

from death into life
Young Aldin of Wiloh had never contemplated death. It was almost strange — so many around him had the tendency to obsess over it, to clamor and claw almost desperately at their own perceptions of the end to know death as much as they could: when it would come, why it would come, where it would take them when it did.
