Grateful Heart
A lifting above
and a grounding below,
a warming at the center –
when I remember.
It is like the unexpected gift
presented with love
and perfect timing.
Or the lightness of being
that comes
with surrender
and trust –
even in the midst of
struggle or pain.
I hold onto it
even as I let go,
allowing the divine
to move through,
heal me with its dawning.
“I was born with a grateful heart,”
says the patient
on her dying bed.
I marvel at the gift she has
and how it fills her up at the end,
easing the way.
And then I remember,
so was I.
