We just liked to talk… about things… things that mattered to us… that we were curious about. When we weren’t in just that comfortable silence.
Although this always felt an extension of it…
Our conversations…
Om… as I considered the feeling in my breast and the thoughts in my head…
What is Gratitude?
And I turned to look up at you…
Wind was blowing in through the white curtains…
Billowing in the air, with a warning…
to us both – but we couldn’t do much with the sense of foreboding as we tried to talk instead… despite the sense of impending doom lurking upon us… upon the Earth Her Self…
Gratitude… you murmured…
Distracted with the winds blowing through our sky room… looking out and walking towards the Landing… with your straight King’s stance…Shiva… I’d know you anywhere… I’d said… I know … When you stand… and that look on your face… Serious, with a slight frown… yet exuding calm, patience, fortitude and dependability despite the crumbling of it all… there you stood holding it all together somehow…
like a pillar…
I loved to just watch you…. and so, you did…
I… did
Eventually when I felt you getting lost in the wind… merging with it almost…
I whispered…
Om…?
Your hands in your pockets as you turned…
Hm… Shanti….
And you smiled… watching me in my white robes, and very pregnant at this time.
So, you came to Me and kissed my forehead and hugged Me… close and we left the winds outside.
Gratitude… you were asking Me…
and I nodded again.
Gratitude… you mused to yourself.
Gratitude…. I suppose is us loving ourselves… for being our Selves.
And my face lit up … at the realization of it all
Wow…
So, we are always able to be grateful because we are gratitude. We love ourselves for being Our Selves… in each and every moment of each and every single day – no matter what is happening. Because the outer circumstances… don’t matter…
We love Ourselves for being Us…. Unconditionally.
Because it’s what we are –
Gratitude…
it comes from the inside.
It doesn’t depend on anything outside of Our Selves.
Just Our Selves…
And we are always… Our Selves….
So, we can always… and are always in fact – Grateful.
Wow Om… You’re so smart…
You just smiled that handsome smile of yours.
And you are my Sunshine…
And I’m not going to stop…
Until you are Mine.
- Om ♾️ Shanti
