advent journal: thank you note
thank you note
the certainty of cynicism
has no room for gratitude
power never says thank you
we are a culture short on
courage and long on loud
to choose to be thankful
requires the tenacity
of a heart
broken open and willing to sit
silently on a starlight night or in
the shadow of a bee’s wing
where we can be reminded
of our appropriate insignificance
and the sparkles of uncertainty
that fill our lives with hope
the opposite of fear
is thank you
Peace,
Milton
