falling into grace...


GRACE. 

"the divine influence on the heart,
and its reflection in
the life."

"to trust in the unseen,
more than the seen"


"put your
heels down
sweetie,"
they tell her
when
she tippy-toes
along
the hardwood floors
barely making
contact with
the
solid
ground
beneath her feet,
the certain proof of
being here on
earth.

put your heels down,
stop leaning back on your chair,
don't let go of the handlebars,
don't swing too high,
hold on tight,
remember to
bring a coat,
a hat,

connect to
this,

and reach for
that,

the things that will
hold you fast
upon
the earth and
will not let
you fall
into
grace...

where there
is only
the
substance of
Spirit
to
stand
upon
and catch you
in its
Allness...

"but my
feet
are on
something
...I feel it"
she
says
to us,
as she whisps
along
the sun-spattered
wood

she is on her way...

walking on
sunshine
and dust motes
and the
substance of
Spirit....

It is a practice
that will
serve her
well ... later....
when
she begins
flying through the
air...
a grande
jette
into the arms of
the divine...

where there is
nothing to
feel,
but the
fall
into
grace....
