Grace, a Tanka 11/26/09

What is meant by grace?

The soul’s subtle whisperings

Of transforming love

In mundane situations

The transcendent is revealed



Endnote: Not too long ago I was checking out at the supermarket. A young mother with a sneezing bawling child was ahead of me. She had a very large order. Thoughts of contracting flu flooded my mind along with irritation at having to wait on line. In the parking lot we were parked next to each other in the handicapped section. I also noticed she had arthritis shoes on. As I started to load my car, she came over and helped me. Grace!
