Explorations in Gratitude with John Tarrant, Roshi

Gratitude is something that I haven’t planned on—either to receive or to give—it takes me by surprise. It arrives out of nowhere. It’s the part of happiness that is beyond selfishness. My gratitude doesn’t have a lot of discrimination and I like that.

A Thanksgiving exercise might be to ask some questions. Here are the ones I’m asking myself, a beginning for a list.

Who am I grateful to?

What prevents gratitude?

What is bitterness about?

And what are the practices of gratitude?
