Thankful Heart

How easily we can forget how precious life is! So long as we can remember, we've just been here, being alive.Unlike other things for which we have a good comparison--black to white, day to night, good to bad--we are so immersed in life that we can see it only in the context of itself. We don't see life as compared to anything, to not-being, for example, to never having been born. Life just is. But life itself is a gift. It's a compliment just being born: to feel, breathe, think, play, dance, sing, work, love, for this particular lifetime. Today, let's give thanks for life. For life itself. For simply being born!
