Grace is neither naive nor easily influenced
Grace is honest and forgiving but doesn’t condone
Grace is transparent and undeniably penetrating
Grace is reliable and supportive without enabling
Grace holds space for growth without sheltering or shielding
Grace allows what is true to unfold despite the heartbreak
Grace stays with what is regardless of how deplorable
Grace is inconceivable strength – the endurance to accept the harshest realities
Grace is humble confidence often mistaken for weakness
Grace is magnetic – emanating pure radiance
Grace is power – revealed through a liberated heart
Grace is virtuous – an epicenter of the sacred
Grace is a single thread woven through all life – all time
Grace is profound beauty – felt deep within our bones
Grace is raw flesh and the balm to heal our wounds
Grace is neither given nor received – it is an attunement – a beingness
Grace is presence – the infinite flow of unconditional love
Grace is a fortress and a touchstone
Grace represents what is right and true
Grace never personalizes the actions of others
Grace listens… and, she rarely needs to speak
Grace speaks to what is ready to land
Grace preserves wisdom until it is sustained
Grace doesn’t withhold, she actively awaits
Grace lingers like honey on one’s lips
Grace is our fall and the awe we long to be
Grace is the true and holiest of matrimony
