Grace is the space
where I close my eyes and let restfulness come upon me
like slow moving fog in the morning
the mist envelops me in its peaceful embrace and I am surrounded
until it gently pulls away my fears and worries
evaporating cares and concerns
detaching resistance
bringing stillness to the emptiness
until I am refreshed by its silence
and a ray of daylight
bursts through to delight in the newness
and I remember that grace exists everywhere for everyone
and I wonder at the generosity of its completeness
