In Gratitude
Meditation with Peggy Rowe Ward
“To extend kindness, to act on the understanding that everything wants to live is our practice. An insect struggling to escape a water dish is using every ounce of its energy to live. When you put your finger under it and lift one out, it shakes the water from her wings and wiggles her butt until she's dry and can fly away. I don't know if they feel gratitude, lucky, or if they feel anything, but I feel tenderness toward them, toward the flowers that nourish her, and to the foods she pollinates that makes my world comprehensible.”
—Peter Coyote, Zen priest, author and narrator of Thich Nhat Hanh’s biography, A Cloud Never Dies
