Gratitude
One way I see our situation is that creation or the universe
is like a tree. Love is the flowers of the tree, and the human
being is the final fruit of the tree, the final fruit of creation.
The thick nectar of the ripe fruit is gratitude. Gratitude for
how things are, gratitude for being vulnerable, gratitude that
you can be completely influenceable. Gratitude for being human.
(Diamond Heart Book 3, pg 207)
