WHAT IS GRACE
“What is grace” I asked God.
And He said,
“All that happens.”
Then He added, when I looked perplexed,
“Could not lovers
say that every moment in their Beloved’s arms
was grace?
Existence is my arms,
though I well understand how one can turn
away from me
until the heart has
wisdom.”
St. John of the Cross

All That is Gold by Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R.Tolkien

The Bridge Builder
I’m not old. I’m not alone
But in many ways this may be
my life poem.
Do you have one?
“An old man, going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for […]

Amazing Grace, Part I
The significance of mankind is not exhibited in our strength and abilities, but in our weaknesses. We go about our lives as if we are bound to the strong and visible - but we started out quite the opposite.
