Joys in the morning in the Garden of Gratitude

I just heard the birds chirping in the Garden of Gratitude outside.  It is a call from the hidden forces in nature to begin another day within the "Circle of Life".   It is the time to commune with the unknown and the ever present life force that surrounds us all the time. For some they may call it God.  For me it is all the tillions of cells and microorganisms in my body and the almost infinite number of individul life forces like bacteria, fungi, viruses, animals, birds and plants that live in the air, soil and water all around us, each doing their job and so I can experience the joys of life and a new day of fulfillment as I reflect on the gratitude I have for the experience of yesterday. I have to go. I hear the call.
