Gary Snyder’s poem “For All” shares the essence of gratitude for the blessings we receive from trees and the elements.
As I gaze upward into the canopy of the circle of redwood trees, I am reminded of the interconnectedness of all life. Each rustling leaf, each whispering breeze, carries with it a message ofgratitude from the earth itself. In the sacred forest, I find solace, inspiration and gratitude for the beauty that surrounds me.
Snyder’s words invite us to pause and reflect on the abundance of gifts we receive from the natural world. From the air we breathe to the shelter provided by the trees, every moment is an opportunity to express our gratitude.
