“Gratitude For Ordinary Things”
Marilyn O’Leary, RScP
When I was younger I used to look for extraordinary things to be grateful for, taking for granted things like fresh running water, illumination when it’s dark, and warmth when it’s cold. Now as I get older I am just so grateful for the wonders of experiences that seem ordinary, especially the wonders of my bodily senses.
That is particularly true for me here in Hawaii, where just being here is a wondrous gift. I am grateful for being able to smell ginger blossoms and coffee bushes, to see masses of purple bougainvillea and yellow hibiscus, to hear birds calling, to feel the warm sun and water, to taste papayas and pineapples.
This is truly a place of rejuvenation as these experiences bring me in touch with my wondrous body. As I experience these things I realize that I am one with nature, one with divine spirit, one with each human, and I can experience and feel that all is love.
I gratefully accept my role – to accept love and to be love – as I affirm for myself and all others perfection in mind and body, radiant health and well-being, joy and love. I know that as I experience these blessings I am in turn a blessings to others, as my being shares with theirs participation in oneness through love.
And so I release this prayer and rest in knowing that it is so.
