Gratitude is not necessarily something that is shown after the event; it is the deep, a priori state of attention that shows we understand and are equal to the gifted nature of life.

Ben shares the essence of David Whyte’s writing~ Gratitude is the foundational understanding that millions of things come together, and live together, and mesh together and breathe together in order for us to take even one more breath of air; That the underlying gift of life and incarnation as a living, participating human being is a privilege.!

HONESTY is reached through the doorway of grief and loss. Where we cannot go in our mind, our memory, or our body is where we cannot be straight with another, with the world, or with our self. The fear of loss, in one form or another, is the motivator behind all conscious and unconscious dishonesties: all of us are afraid of loss, in all its forms, all of us, at times, are haunted or overwhelmed by the possibility of a disappearance, and all of us therefore, are one short step away from dishones

Just as we give ourselves to the unknown realm of sleep we give things away to see in effect, how and in what form they return to us. Giving things away, letting things go, and in a way, readying ourselves to receive a
