Thursday, November 28 | Thanksgiving
The complexity of this holiday compels us to hold practices of gratitude alongside our acknowledgements of grief for past and present injustices.
Put in Practice: Hold this balance by tuning into the themes presented in our Monthly Invocation, to maintain gratitude amidst it all.
November Invocation: Gratitude
The first words and the last
Will be thank you, thank you, thank you
For all that I am
For all that I have
For all that is
For all that was
For all that will be
Even amidst heartbreak, loss, grief
Even amidst uncertainty, chaos, fear
Even amidst the world and her tears
I remember, what a gift is this breath
I remember, what a gift is my heart
I remember, what a gift it is to be alive
I remember, these gifts and more …
( Presence your personal gratitudes here )
May my gratitude not be drowned out by the pain inside or out
But amplified and magnified, to transform all
May my gratitude be an antidote to the hopelessness that pervades
May my gratitude be our hope
Thank you, thank you, thank you
