Gratitude as Practice
Continuous expression of thanks as a fundamental spiritual practice.
Gratitude is not occasional but continuous. Thanks are offered for food, water, fire, breath - for everything. This constant gratitude maintains right relationship with the forces that sustain life. Ingratitude brings misfortune.
Begin and end each day with thanks; let gratitude be your constant companion.
