Grace

Grace is found in the ocean

on waves full of purpose and intention,

waves that linger like an old memory

leaving salt on our skin.

Grace is found in confinement,

when light dances through shadows

and hope drifts through the walls.

Grace is found when you've lost 

your way in the universe and

you find a lighthouse to guide your way.

Grace is found in nursing a bird with a broken

wing and watching it as it flies away.

Grace is found in a wildflower

blooming on the side of a majestic mountain.

Grace is found in holding the hand of someone 

you love while they take their last breath.

Grace is found in giving your heart completely

without reservation or hesitation.

Grace is found in the taste of coffee

when migraine robs you of your sleep

and you are grateful

that you did not die 

while fighting the battles of life

when you thought you were invincible .

 You wrestled with demons,

while you were hungry to live

in the moment.

You learned hard lessons 

when your hand was in the fire,

in the burn you

found truth,

you found courage,

you found grace.
