I am alive. I breathe – one, two, three breaths. Surrounded, air nourishes my body.
My spirit lives because I love. I don’t have to think about what this means; love is the nourishment of my soul. Love is found everywhere – it is in the very center of my being.
Help is always ready to be received. I keep my eyes open for little kindnesses – a smiling face, beauty, every one who reaches out to me. And if that one is no longer here, another will take her place – love will reach out again.
Within my heart I feel love flow back and forth, inward and outward. The heart opens its doors wide. Like the sun, love rises to meet me every day to give light – this light shines even through clouds.
Only a living, breathing heart can lift this heavy world on the wings of hope and faith. I have all I need for my spirit to live: nourishment of soul and mind, freedom, a sense of purpose – I pray that this will be for all people.
Gratitude lifts my heart to meet another day.
