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
