you are grateful when you’re eating steamed cauliflower with butter, and soft-boiled eggs, broccoli, you know, fresh bread, you name it, what you like

the point is that gratitude is simple and means no more no less but being GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE

and it’s a natural state

it’s a natural state

it’s the innate state

when you’re in it — you need nothing else, you need no practice, no thing — only being

alas when you’re not in it — then you will be convincing yourself and practicing “gratitude” and chasing things and trying to be complete

it’s a hopeless predicament

but you can start with having some cauliflower,

please be simple
