The Heron Dance Book of Love and Gratitude

Gratitude and love as a philosophy of life and spiritual practice

The Heron Dance Book of Love and Gratitude can be used in your journaling — love and gratitude as a philosophy of life and as a spiritual practice. What we express gratitude for grows in significance and power in our lives. From the introduction:

  • Living with gratitude is, I’ve learned, a matter of paying attention, of surrender. As Len Soucy said in our interview, it requires conscientious effort to try. It is a philosophy of life, a spiritual practice. It should be easy. I think it may be for some people. For me though it has required effort. I learned that by watching people who seem happy, particularly older people, and particularly one woman in her nineties . . .

  • Gratitude and happiness in life seem to go together. When you find one, you tend to find the other. And it is, generally speaking, a deliberate choice. If we have reasonable health and enough to eat and a roof over our heads, there are life-changing rewards to be found in shifting our focus to the beauty and mystery that surrounds.

  • Part of my gratitude practice has been the accumulation of favorite quotes on the subject. They are kind of a savings reserve against hard times -- times of discouragement or frustration. I share them with you in the hopes that they might add to your life what they have to mine.
