In times of turmoil and danger, gratitude helps to steady and ground us. It brings us into presence, and our full presence is perhaps the best offering we can make to our world.

Select One Spiritual Nugget to Inspire Your Day
The wandering mind is not an enemy but a tender child, easily distracted, longing for guidance. We are asked not to force or shame this restlessness, but to lead it home, gently, again and again. Silent prayer is less about mastery and more about willingness, about daring to return to Love’s presence even after the hundredth distraction. God does not ask much of us, merely a brief thought of them from time to time, a little love, sometimes asking for grace, sometimes offering them your sufferings, other times thanking them for the blessings they have given. What a mercy this is—that even in our meals, in our conversations, in our weariness, we may lift our hearts in simple remembrance. Here lies the freedom: to walk through each moment with an unhurried awareness of God’s nearness.
May your heart find rest in the quiet nearness of Love.
