Thanksgiving
Mike Essig
Gratitude is Magick,
a spell cast against
despair and doom.
It makes whatever
you have enough.
Miracles abound
in even the
least of lives.
Cherish the time
that is given you;
it will run out
before you know it.
Be thankful to sit
and laugh among
those you love.
It might be otherwise.
Know that each
breath is a gift.
Welcome the
uncertain future.
Time destroys
all that lives.
Material things
decay and fall away.
Spirit is life.
Open your heart
to what remains.
Take what you have
and make something new.
Do not fear death;
it is only the
beginning of wonder.
Live like today
is the last day.
Practice resurrection.
