Grace
It is in the journey
 to the core of our being
 that we experience who we are,  
 become aware of where we are
 and discover parts of our being
 we had forgotten or 
 no longer saw.
 Grace is the balm 
 which heals the cracks 
 and gives us peace 
 Grace is what gives meaning 
 to that which we have forgotten, 
 which we consider  mundane, 
 and in which beauty ha emerged.
 Grace is like the flowers
 which grow in the cracks of the sidewalk. 
 We do not expect to find 
 beauty in the midst 
 of the cracks.
 WE may not see those moments of grace 
 on a daily basis, 
 but when we travel inward
 we see them 
 with a clarity
 and brilliance 
 and stop 
 and give thanks
 for the reminders of grace.
