Open Eyes, please hear yourself first in what is missing--innocence in re-birthing activity which has NOTHING to do with those who failed you in the past nor your response to those who failed you in the past. Find gratitude where you are right this minute even if it is bed, think upon what is good about being in bed and let the light of those words of thanksgiving pull you into it's next activity that you cannot see until you get there.

It (gratitude) works because the timeless truth for everyone is that light is more powerful than the dark. It's all about you hearing you, first and foremost, and what this voice tells you once you allow it to be on the other side of gratitude--moment by moment.

Gratitude, right now, in what the suffering has brought you to face--here is where the light will penetrate the dark. I remember when I opposed and hated those giving me gratitude steps at one time in my life, and I wallowed in my pain longer and when the time was right for me, I eventually I gave it a try...

Lovingkindness means that IN THIS MOMENT (no past, no future) You are safe, you are happy and healthy, you are at ease, you are content in the attitude of gratitude--moment by moment. Listen to yourself as this new voice relishes in and enjoys the innocence of a fresh, new moment.

What have you got to lose? A bad story that has become ingrained. What have you got to gain? A new moment with a new feeling and new brain wiring ready and waiting to form into a new pathways as you hear and think upon gratitude in this, yes even this, moment.

Light overcomes darkness. Period. The concept is bigger than you or me because it is a timeless truth for all.
