Title: I Am Thankful


1
I Am Thankful
  • What are you thankful for?
  • I give thanks for the miracle of daily life and
    breath,
  • And this gorgeous if endangered natural world,
  • And the treasure of Dharma friends and family
    surrounding me,
  • In this very moment.
  • I give thanks that Im not a homeless refugee,
  • Bombed and hounded, unwelcome at borders,
  • Climbing concrete dividing walls,
  • Or an any other person fleeing civil unrest,
    discrimination, and warfare,

Not a Middle Eastern girl kept from school and
modern civil rights, Nor black Ameri-teen
endangered in open streets, Or stateless
ocean-going boat people or Tibetan refugees
braving Himalayan snows and Communist
guns. I give thanks Ive made it to sixty
alive, And with family and faculties intact, In a
great democratic country which needs no armed
election monitoring, With food, shelter, freedom,
democracy, And opportunities. I give thanks for
The Moveable Feast, Of my decades in both France
and Southeast Asia, With my beloved gurus and
comrades-in-spirit on the Path of love and
awakefulness, And thrill with gratitude and
cherish-edness for this shining autumn New
England day.
