Thanks. I want to explore and write about how gratitude and much else is a feature of our environment, the world we live in. Not just something we control through our thought and character/disposition. And our modern world, doesn't easily facilitate this. Just walk down Kensington St. in Philly or sit outside the 7-elevens in downtown L.V. like I did last year this time and you see how unconnected people are to the suffering around them. It's an invisible holocaust of our souls.
Thanks for this, David. Seeing the world on a bicycle is often a joy, and often an endurance test. I also appreciate the mention of Edward Abbey.
Lovely post. So true: Gratitude is the door through which we enter communion with others and see them as ourselves.
