Grace. Without obstacle.
Grace. Selfless kindness.
Grace. Peaceful communication.
I've been thinking a lot about the idea of grace. Using the visual of grace in the physical, we can connect to a better understanding of grace in practice.
Think of a ballet dancer. A female form dressed in a flowing skirt. As her strong legs lift her body, she is airborne and her skirt gently floats around her.
The movement appears effortless. As if gravity is no obstacle. As if she has removed herself from struggle. The gentle smile on her face tells is that she is at peace.
I strive to be like that dancer. Showing the world grace by removing obstacles and communicating peace. Never forgetting that exhibiting grace requires the discipline of a trained dancer. Grace is not inaction, rather it is compassion in action.
