"No Complaints / Many Blessings"
Welcome to June—and one of those months that seems to fly by. Already, we're about halfway through the month, a little less than ten days before the solstice arrives and marks the official beginning of summer. And then we begin
to move back into darkness…
But not right away, so let's press on with a different take on the practice of gratitude. Let's take it beyond the "list three to five things you're grateful for everyday" notion and make room for broader possibilities.
Yes—we all grouse, and fuss and succumb to moments of being disappointed and angry with life. And yet, look around you. In the grand scheme of things going on in the world today, do you really have that many complaints? Haven't the basics—health, food, shelter and clothing, taken on more meaning
than in recent years?
When we look around and realize all that so many—too many people don't have—can we really in good conscience dare to complain in light of all that we already do have? Complaints take on an air of pettiness in this light, don't
they?
What's your take on the practice of "No Complaints / Many Blessings" (2:19)?
