GRATITUDE WEEK: FRIDAY

 When we are alone on a starlit night,
when by chance we see the migrating birds in
autumn descending on a grove of junipers to
rest and eat; when we see children in a moment           
when they are really children, when we know
love in our own hearts; or when, like the
Japanese poet, Basho, we hear an old frog
land in a quiet pond with a solitary splash -
at such times the awakening, the turning
inside out of all values, the "newness,"
the emptiness and the purity of vision
that make themselves evident, all these
provide a glimpse of the cosmic dance.                                 

~Thomas Merton
