Nature has some perfections, to show us that she is the image of God; and some imperfections to show us that she is only God's image. . . .
~ by Blaise Pascal
Gratitude gentles us
and grants us grace.
As I express my gratitude,
I become more deeply aware of it.
And the greater my awareness,
the greater my need to express it.
What happens here is a spiraling ascent,
a process of growth in
ever expanding circles
around a steady center.
