Sunday quote: Surprise

November 24, 2019November 24, 2019 Karl Duffy

Gratitude is a real practice, as valid as yoga, or Zen meditation or Sufi dancing – if you take it seriously.

Gratitude starts with surprise. We deprive ourselves so much by not allowing ourselves to be surprised.

David Steindl-Rast
