Dances of GRATITUDE

 

“Let your feelings of gratitude dance in your heart 

and be expressed through your love and kindness.”

_Debasish Mridha

Sometimes we feel gratitude because something is making us happy.

Sometimes we feel happy because we are connecting with gratitude.

But what does it feel like to be totally immersed in gratitude – no cause, no effect.

It is so seldom that we flow in the river of gratitude – often we stand on the banks not realising how easy it is to dip a toe into the refreshing feeling that comes with this connection. If we focus on the glass half-full, we forget about the water that is present.

We can always find a hundred and one things to be negative about and, that looking forward we inevitably expect the same.

But through the dance, we can be reminded of the wonderful miracle of life – to be alive, to be experiencing this amazing mystery. Is that just not a marvellous adventure which we could experience from a state of gratitude?

With words, we say “thank you”.
With the heart, we extend and embrace.
The soul expresses gratitude through the dance.

_Christos Daskalakos
