Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.

be found in noise and restlessness.

We need silence to be able to touch souls.

feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.
