Grateful for those blisters

Grateful for those blisters

It is easy to be grateful when our cup of life is full.

But to find gratitude when the river is dry, and our soul despairs, is the measure of our character.

Easy is it to fall into entitlement. As if we are owed a particular lifestyle. To bemoan the not-so-good, or frankly bad.

Gratitude as a life practice insists on finding the good, true, and beautiful in blisters, hunge,r and cold.

Gratitude as a spiritual practice asks us to go deep into the well of our being when we feel lonely, broken down, discarded.

If not a butterfly, an ant. If not an ant, a snowflake. If not a snowflake, a rock, telling you a story that transcends our existence.

The Syntropic Way. Invite. Tell others. Ask. Stay open. Wait. Allow Kairos time. The key is the intention set, and the commitment to the Pattern Integrity of the intention itself.

November 26th 2025 Reestablish gratitude Reestablish gratitude My father’s short sight has gone, making reading and some close-up tasks impossible. He is 92 and otherwise healthy. After stubbornly refusing to use mobile phone technology, he is now suddenly open to a mobile phone. His wife has developed sudden, severe dementia, and has a large benign mass on her neck threatening vital functions. She is mostly lost to him, her memory a flicker. This all within weeks. They live four hours’ drive...
