Living: grace’s gift –
To feel sunlight on your face
And the evening rain
poetry, prose, and photography
Here is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge: Grace.
I think a lot about grace. Its importance both to us, and to society. How grace enables humans to function together, and is the magic elixir that ends conflict. And that grace is undervalued, perhaps even reviled. We live in brutal times, my friends.


I look at the night
Upon freshly fallen snow
I’m struck by the grace
It’s a beautiful, snowy night here in Seattle. It feels wonderful, though I dread tomorrow’s commute.

Seek a grace filled life
So important: attitude
Embrace gratitude
This haiku came to me after reading “Houston Dad Handles Bully Beautifully“.
When facing evil
Focusing fully on grace
Always seek to grow
Grace can accomplish many great things, as it requires courage to step forward in such a way.

At times
It is hard to remember
All the good in the world
Despair is a cruel teacher
Grapple with thankfulness
And accept the grace of love
That comes, truly, it comes
Often unexpectedly
