I am grateful that I have until the end of this coming weekend to turn in my term paper. I am also grateful for the wonderful community and fellowship I experienced at the last RJTF Just Dinner event tonight. Another one in the can.

I am grateful for the tears in my eyes. Because, G*d knows, I’ve been fallin’ quite a bit—for quite some time. My hands are cracked, dried, and bleedin’. My work is way behind… And in this exact moment, I am grateful I remembered I need to turn in my accountability for this week with my…

In a late night morn Before sunrise was born I saw a vision in my heat I couldn’t move I couldn’t breath And sweat poured under the sheet Time shined still Wild winds blew The keepers of the gate Let no one through Angels prayed For sanity acts Feelings don’t matter When seeing the facts…

I am grateful for the exuberant joy of punk ethics. I am finding myself going back to the beautiful noise of the 70s; the energy is uplifting as more and more chaos erupts around the world. We are not alone America; fascism and pig-headed politics is finding a foothold all over the world. A friend…

I am grateful for a wonderful day… a lot that I was concerned about—feeling way behind on—is (at least today) proving to be manageable… in the sense that I can persevere and make it to a satisfying conclusion. Of course, I need to do the work. And I am grateful for the work. That which…

I am grateful for the beautiful people I meet along this journey… Today has been a good day. Sun rising over a fog laden valley of salt, sand, and range. And I am grateful we took the long way down, seeing two amazing GodDogs lumbering their way up old railroad grade. How unfortunate to see…

I am grateful for the advice I heard from Habibi this evening… think of one thing each day that is positive about (someone close to me). Good advice.

I am grateful that I got up early this morning, joined friends at the Inn, and hiked up to the curve on the mountain to watch today’s sun rise. The chorus the birds burst with upon the first rays hitting the mountain side was real. And I was in the company of good people. A…

I am grateful for beautiful POP that just moves my chemicals in an uplifting manner. Thanks, Ed.

I am grateful for the artist spirit from which I shan’t be parted from. I’ve been bruised black and blue; face down in the mud and the blood and the beer. But the One that created me remained near—showing me the LIGHT despite my fear. And moment to moment, day by day, I am happy…

I am grateful for this beautiful day of lessons learned about loving… I am grateful for the consistent reminder that everyone I meet is far more then what meets my eye. I am grateful for the Racial Justice Task Force Just Dinner event that took place tonight. I am grateful for everyone… yep, even that…

I am grateful for a nice message I received today—a friendly note. I am grateful for things working out… In their own time.
