“I do not understand the mystery of grace — only that it meets us where we are and does not leave us where it found us.” – Anne Lamott

“Grace is one of the most majestic words in theology. It suggests the sublime spontaneity of the divine which no theory or category could ever capture. Grace has its own elegance. It is above the mechanics of agenda or operation. No one can set limits to the flow of grace. Its presence and force remain unmeasurable and unpredictable. Grace also suggests how fluent and seamless the divine presence is. There are no compartments, corners or breakages imaginable in the flow of grace. Grace is the permanent climate of divine kindness. It suggests a compassion and understanding for all the ambivalent and contradictory dimensions of the human experience and pain. This climate of kindness nurtures the sore landscape of the human heart and urges torn ground to heal and become fecund.” .. John O’Donohue

Beneath the chaos
Above the noise
Beyond the hustle
A whisper
A soft breeze
Sacred ground
Thin spaces
Detached from effort or earning
Unforced rhythm of grace
Awaiting reception without explanation
Partaking without delay
Partake

“You can have the other words-chance, luck, coincidence, serendipity. I’ll take grace. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I’ll take it. ”― Mary Oliver
