I've been doing some hardcore gratitude ritual work lately and pretty quickly I realised that if I was grateful for anything I had to be grateful for everything (because it's all interdependent). Which has lead me to challenge myself: can I be grateful for this horror? how about this? ... and this?

But it didn't occur to me until reading your post that I should flip the equation: everything should be grateful for me too.

Thank you.

I love this direction of inquiry for you.

thanks for sharing, Rebecca. Really interesting move. I wonder if you can go into a feedback loop or fractal with this: kind of like the "I see you seeing me seeing you..." but gratitude-flavored.
