Grace is not a thing to come to you.
It is ever showering on you.
You have only to be conscious of it.
May God grant you this faith and this consciousness.

God brings about occasions for turning its course towards Himself.
Thereafter God takes up such a life and guides and controls it
according to His supreme will, which works always for good.”

You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink. — G.K. Chesterton

10.03.08 The Avowal

THE AVOWAL

As swimmers dare
to lie face to the sky
and water bears them,
as hawks rest upon air
and air sustains them,
so would I learn to attain
freefall, and float
into Creator Spirit's deep embrace,
knowing no effort earns
that all-surrounding grace.
-Denise Levertov
