Why Are We Thankful for Sunsets?

Why are we thankful for sunsets

which neither help nor harm,

impede nor direct us toward anything?

Why are we not thankful for hindrances

which in performing one action, performs its opposite?

What can we learn from a sunset

that a roadblock does not teach better?

Not an Obstacle, It's a Door

It’s not an obstacle, it’s a door

Be thankful when you find the way closed.

You have time to prepare for what lies behind it.

Be thankful when you find it open to you.

Your horizons are about to expand.

When the knob turns,

Be thankful for the transition from non-movement to movement.
