I Noticed
I noticed I no longer have any room for wanting things to be different.
Nature especially, including the weather this day,
is so very rich and marvelous,
and beautiful and alive,
and interwoven
that each day I welcome what is
as what is welcomes me as I am.
I am beginning to wonder if I still have a favorite season.
I noticed that I am more grateful than I ever imagined I could be
for this life,
my life as it has been and now is,
and I realize that gratitude has the power to crowd everything else out.
