Of Grace ...
Yes, this matter of Grace …
To be able to digest Grace, to hold Grace, to be with Grace in a way separate than an intellectual understanding. People may talk and spin words, but we are about this work in a different manner - the intimate meeting of ourselves and this energy of Grace.
When Grace comes into a room it is of quiet and of stillness. Grace meets us in stillness. Unlike other energies that may descend with a lightning bolt or fanfare. Grace arrives with stillness. Grace is like our favorite pet, like a sense of coming home. If we could digest Grace, then we would feel as if all is right, as if we have arrived. “I have arrived, I have become one with all - and I am at peace. And there is no aspect of myself that is not fully in love with itself. And all of me sings this very quiet song.”
“I am me and it is everything.”
This is Grace.
Coming back to ourselves in this way is an immense honoring. It is as if we play tribute to ourselves saying “Ah, yes! You are here. We have been waiting for you. And you are everything. No part of you is amiss.” It is like the best hotel we might visit. We walk in the room and everything is just as it should be and we feel welcomed. We know someone has cared before our arrival and they turn to us and say, “We’ve been waiting for you. We are so happy that you’ve come. There is no aspect of you that needs to be changed or altered or adjusted.It is all as it is and always has been. Welcome.”
Grace is this immense, immeasurable acceptance. We may journey through our own healing to assimilate or to digest each of the pieces of ourselves with unconditional love. Or we can lay quietly in this experience of Grace and know acceptance in the moment of all.
There is a tendency to hold the notion of redemption as if there was something amiss to be redeemed, but this is not Grace. There was never anything amiss, never anything to be redeemed. And interestingly, nothing ever to be accepted.
It’s as if there was just this quiet, this complete clarity of who we are.
This is of Grace.
