the remedy for everything..


i found these lines in my sent box written to a friend...
sometimes it is nice to reread old stuff one has totally forgotten...

gratitude is the remedy for all afflictions they say..
it makes you appreciate where you are.
who you are. that you even wake up and see another sunrise.
and experience how it is to be where we are..

the tools are there. the skills are there. it just has to begin.. from nothing. see the world from nothing and slowly build it with what is around.. isn't it a lovely day? a divine day? just the act of being able to close my eyes and open them again.. or to bend my knees or breathe right.. gives me so much joy.. there is the sound of rain, the act of rain, such things as spoons and shoelaces and smell of grass and eyesight. .. sometimes we are in denial that life is damn beautiful. or enough. it always boils down to what cannot be had in this life. but the greatest thing to have is the ability to love anything because nothing belongs to anyone..
