There is a grace in life that can be trusted. In our struggle toward freedom we are neither abandoned nor alone.
~ from MY GRANDFATHER’S BLESSINGS by Rachel Naomi Remen
When we are able to accept being accepted, able to receive the loving, listening presence of God b oth embodied in others and hidden in their hearts, we experience God as Love, resulting spontaneously in gratitude, praise and joy. I mean an upwelling of heart-breaking, heart-opening thankfulness and joy that such Love could be, that we could be in it, that it could be in us, that we are all in it together.
