A Rose is a Rose is a Rose

 [A sannyasin leaving for the West says: I feel deep gratitude for all that has happened to me since I've been here.] I know.... Much will be happening, much more, and gratitude prepares the way. Feel as grateful to existence as possible -- for small things, not only for great things... just for sheer breathing. We don't have any claim on existence, so whatsoever is given is a gift. If it is not given we don't have any court for appeal.
