Grace

In the midst of life, we find ourselves. Every choice we make takes us closer or further from our highest good. So, hopefully we approach each decision with the proper reverence. Even the hardest decisions, that seem to tear us apart, can bring joy and happiness in the end; sometimes even sooner than expected.

The time for me to write again has come. The time has come to create. To weave into existence transmutations of the beauty I see and experience. Beauty in love and in pain. Beauty in adversity and in success. Beauty in the everday and the ordinary. Beauty is all around me. Beauty is unavoidable.

To the Universe: Thank you for the omnipresent Grace you have showered upon me during the past few years, and that you continue to rain upon me; kisses from Heaven.
