A State of Gratitude

Is not Gratitude
the language,
the communication
of the heart
that helps you
take a step back –
opening up the heart
to being thankful,
being grateful –
for any one
or many things
of which there are
to be thankful,
to be grateful for?

But as there are times
when blessings
can appear to
be elusive –
is it not
the human way,
in the world of duality,
to place judgement
on what to be
grateful for?

But what if you
stepped into the
State of Gratitude,
even before you
counted your blessings –
is not Gratitude
an open and allowing
place to Be?

Would you not need
to depend upon
what is happening
around you,
to bring thoughts
of Gratitude in –
do you not feel
the shift,
when you open up
your heart,
to find Gratitude
is already within You?

As You Are Gratitude,
as You Are Love –
does not Gratitude
allow you to
relax into Love –
does it not provide
the space to
simply Be?

Is not being
in the State of Gratitude,
honoring the essence of
Who You Are –
can you be grateful
for the Blessing
That Is You?

Allow Gratitude
to dance with
the Love That You Are.

And within that space,
that energy,
that State of Gratitude –
There Is Joy,
There Is Peace,
There Is Love.

The State of Gratitude
is the Gateway to You –
Blessed Be,
Blessed You.
