Grace

By Lezli Censullo

In this Scorpio season of upheaval and loss, I have found myself entertaining an unexpected and most welcome visitor.

She appears to me in many forms.

Sometimes she appears as Mary, sometimes as Aphrodite.

Sometimes she is the Sun peeking through the clouds and lighting up the trees.

Sometimes she is a Feather that appears in my path just as I was thinking of you.

She is Kwan Yin and she is Brigid.

She is the ancestors and guides that illuminate and visit my inner worlds.  She is the crystal room deep within the Earth that I visit during deep energetic transformations.

She is the connection you make with me when you read my words.

She is even there in the deep and utter despair of sudden death as the tiny frizzle of interconnection that binds those who love together like a vine seeking out and finding its family and holding them close.

Grace., you see, is what emerges when we hold the tension of the opposites between resistance and acceptance.  Grace is what emerges when we hold the tension of both past and future and dwell completely in the present moment. Grace is there when we allow ourselves to be both clumsy and elegant in that moment.

Grace is there when we hold both love and fear at the same time.

Grace.

Grace appears when we bring that which is above and that which is below together within our own hearts and allow that which is Divine to emerge.

May you invite Grace into your heart this holiday season.
