Joining in:

Feeling a deep pervasive tension leave my body as I feel safe here in Portugal
My upstairs neighbor who already came down to help me unlock my finicky door
The opportunity/decision/work to actually be who I am, visibly to the world
My partner and our two kitties, all of whom are full of quirks and personality and aliveness
The way the Mystery never lets go of me, no matter how long I lose touch with it

Our house household and neighbors
the many voices in my head (my counsellors) and in my networks
The young ones I run into, especially grandchildren
the chance to volunteer at the food bank
the ongoing struggle and uncertainty in life the world and society (this is a hard one --decisional, we used to call it)

The unknown is what is.  And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that.  Unknown is what is.  Accept that it's unknown, and it's plain sailing.    John Lennon

My writing group facilitator assigned us to write down five things we are thankful for and write a paragraph about each, then after thanksgiving write about the actual experience of Thanksgiving day. A little alternative to sitting around the table asking everyone to say something they are thankful for. So this list just popped up for me and I thought I would share it with one group I am thankful to have shared and am sharing this big beautiful and dangerous world with. Wonder what you all’s Five Thanks might be:


Cinco Gracias

Google Translate

The time I was born into

Learning to read and write

My teachers

Poetry and song


Happy Thanksgiving!?
