Thursday Thirteen #8

Thirteen Things I am Thankful For 1. Life 2. Belonging to Family and Community 3. Stories--for their role in co-creating self, community, and culture; for the weaving of stories is the weaving of the fabric of life. 4. Home--the place of refuge and its amenities--having experienced two weeks living on the street I can never take such for granted again. 5. Regular meals--again, having experienced on several occasions their lack, it is natural to feel grateful.when they're available. 6. Libraries--how else would I gain access to several thousand dollars of books and videos every year. 7. The adoration and companionship of my two cats, Gremlin and Merlin. 8. Computer and Internet technology because it gives me the tools I need to follow my bliss and to accomodate to the various challenges my life circumstances have handed me. 9. My laptop--ditto and because it gives me 24/7 possession of and access to my projects. 10. Both Nature and Civilization in equal measure. 11. Music 12. The Fruits of the Spirit with which I have been gifted and charged with nurturing and manifesting in my life--love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, temperence, faith, and meekness as well as grace, wisdom, justice, mercy, hope, courage, abundance, gratitude, liberty of mind and conscience, balance, awe, compassion, and wonder among others. 13. That which is my Source and Sustainer and the Animating Spirit which Breathes me and seeds within me its Fruits--not to be confused with any posited supernatural entity for it is not a being but very Being, it is not noun but verb and must not be named for naming defines and delimits and thereby creates things which can be no more than idols Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.
