This week I share a couple resources from my reading of Fr. Richard Rohr’s The Tears of Things and listening to one of my go-to’s, NPR’s “Tiny Desk” concert series. This past weekend was the annual Flower Piano festival in San Francisco’s Botanical Gardens. During my son’s baseball game warmups nearby, I was able to walk the beautiful garden grounds and soak in the nature, complemented by the richness of the various pianos available for anyone to play to share their talents with all of us passersby. I love where I live!
Another night this past week my youngest kids broke into a spontaneous re-enactment of Hamilton’s first act and I felt blessed by this live entertainment. I try to notice these spontaneous moments of grace that often abound when I pay close enough attention in nature, or open my heart wide enough to hear all the great music in my life. Blessings on your week ahead!
Grace- Richard Rohr, OFM
Grace is not what we deserve by doing the right things, but rather a gift freely given by the Creator in the very act of creation….Grace is one of those realities that is everywhere once you stop weighing, counting, and deserving. God’s freedom to act freely is already highly visible in nature….Such grace follows no logic (or) explanation.
