I have gratitude for EVERYTHING
that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment.

I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life.

and I also choose to be indifferent to gossip,
petty complaints, and idle chatter.
About those, I just don't care.

the compassion and the indifference,
the roar of our courage
and the cold sweat of our fear.
We accept gratefully the entirety
of our past and our present life.

always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
