I ...I came to a 3 a.m. realization in recent weeks. I have forgotten how to be grateful. That's a terrible thing to come to terms when you are about to be 50 and have much to be grateful for. But I spent the holiday with my father - who is old and quite sick, but still in possession of a supple mind - and I saw his appreciation of everything and everyone. And even as he witnesses his own body turn against him, he gazes upon his grandchildren - and his grown children, the man who sells the paper on the corner, the grocer, the mail delivery person, the passing stranger - with the curiosity and generous heart of the wise. <br />So, in this vein, ("he in his gratitude")thank you for this poem. It resonated with me in a deep way. <br />And, thank you for this blog. It is a place I visit quite often to find hidden treasures like this one written by Mr. Berry.Mr. Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503057128253019579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296096399220838318.post-20927246319198067922009-11-22T19:08:36.077-08:002009-11-22T19:08:36.077-08:00I read this here yesterday and felt so moved by th...I read this here yesterday and felt so moved by the words.
