Gratitude omens

Gratitude is the theme for noticing what has fed you today, most of it small and most of it easy to miss. Its cards tend to speak in crumbs and spoonfuls: a golden crumb left on the plate, honey in the last hour of light, bread on the table at evening, a candle burned down to its final inch. They do not ask you to feel more than you feel. They point at what is already quietly sustaining you and let that be enough for the moment, without asking it to last forever. Thanks, in these cards, is less a mood than a way of looking at a plain day and finding it full.
