Her Gratitude
by Martha MacFarland
Gratitude is the perspective
Needed to transcend
The limitations of her mind
To find her cosmic identity
Opening up to the Source
Of which all things came into her life
But the highest form of gratitude
Is when she is grateful
For just merely existing
That the miracle of life is enough
Cherishing her essence of being
A luminous being that is self aware
Finding the carefreeness of stepping
Outside her personality
Quieting her mind
To see the infinite possibilities within her
Cultivating appreciation of all things
As she focuses on what she does have
Her access to this stream of infinite potential
Wraps around her soul
With threads of light
Until she can no longer see which thread was hers
And which thread was Divine
For they are one in the same
And the flow of Divine love
Has her sit in higher consciousness
In Oneness
Accessing her higher Self
Raising her vibration to match the Source
She finds appreciation and reverence
In time and space
Realizing the obstacles on her path
Are now blessings that have been transformed
For they have brought her to her soul lessons
To surrender and accept the things she cannot control
finding freedom in the release
To moderate to the middle path away from extremes
that have not served her
To understand there is enough in herself right now
in her mind and spirit to make the right decisions for her life
To accept that success comes on her own terms
not from anyone else
To embrace peace in a world that is unpredictable and unstable
remaining centered in joy in the midst of conflict
To ease into the flow of life of flexibility with balance
knowing when to help others
without sacrificing her own energy
To accept self-love and self-worth of herself that is not dependent externally
For reverence of life starts internally
and in the sacredness of her own temple
when she embraces gratitude
and truly flourishes
in the fulfillment of her infinite potential
