Wrapped In Gratitude

wrap yourself in gratitude.  begin in the egg,
move out and around til you are complete. 

fairly simple and common enough
to strike a chord of rememberance.

gratitude is the key to centering myself in perfection. 
this symbol demanded to be born. 
for weeks i drew it everywhere...over and over. 

then one night i asked my sweetheart ken
"what is the symbol for gratitude?" 
the moon has her symbol.  air, water, fire...
hell, even prince has his own symbol. 
so what about gratitude? 

as i was asking the question i looked down
and realized this was what i had been drawing.
my question was answered...immediately. 

notice the lower case g? 
gratitude has 9 letters and the g looks like a 9. 
9 is completion.

all creation begins with an idea,
an egg, a place to gestate...so does gratitude.

then the journey begins. 

spiraling out into the universe in search of perfect self. 
finally, one discovers the end is the beginning
and everything is complete. 

gratitude. 

i'm all wrapped up in it.

I'm beginning to envision a spherical emanating symbol of Gratitude - like energy.

Thank you eternally for the kind words of wisdom, they are fitting perfectly into my course of spiritual study that I'm leading and following in the universe.

Hi Stacey, I just wanted to post a comment about the valentine you sent out to us all , celebrating your love for your partner and how you met. Synchronicity is such a wonderful thing and it is becoming clear to me that the more one lives centered in gratitude and love the more plentiful the moments of synchronicity. Its as if the love that connects us all finally gets to express itself because we have opened our hearts and so it has somewhere to "land". Sometimes I think that the gratitude symbol works as an opening for love , as a target , or a bullseye. You certainly have attracted someone who enhances and adds to your life and it seems that your gratitude for life and love, drew him to you.
Thank you for sharing, it gives hope and love to those speaking a language not many can hear.
