i give thanks and praise

i give thanks and praise to Grandfather sun for sharing his warmth and generosity over the holiday weekend;

i give thanks and praise to fire soft colours begging us to pay attention, to gather, to walk, to dance, to sing underneath a canopy of sun drenched delicacies of orange green yellow red mauve and purples;

i give thanks and praise to global family from Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nepal, Zambia, Sierra Leone, Grenada, Russia, Germany and Canada celebrating life, community, holidays of thanks ;

i give thanks and praise to Cameron Lake where Maya and i draped ourselves across the warmth of the water’s dock talking, laughing, documenting our thankfulness to Mother Earth;

i give thanks and praise to this path of generosity, this path of peace that runs deep in all of us begging us to pay attention, to pay attention…..
