All

We give thanks.

For what we recognize, appreciate, 

understand, enjoy,

and for what we ignore, disown, 

repel, reject.

We give thanks.

For the present, for what’s next, 

for the probable, for the possible.

For the possibility

of facing it all

with appreciation, passion.

For the responsibility

of seizing it all

with tenacity, resolution.

For the opportunity

of accepting it all

with invocation, devotion.
