Meister Eckhart reminds us:
“If the only prayer you ever say
in your entire life is thank you,
it will be enough.” So, thank you.
Thank you for air we breathe,
the water we drink, the food we eat.
Thank you for the sun and the moon,
the stars, lakes, rivers and seas.
Thank you for the beauty around us
even when we cannot see or feel it.
Thank you for our family, friends
and loved ones, for the gift of each other.
Thank you for this moment as we pause
in silence to give thanks for all of it.
May we give thanks each day for everything.
May we give thanks for the path we are on,
even when it is thorny and strewn with obstacles
May we live in such a way that others,
when they think of us, might say, “Thank you.”
Now and always, Amen!
