Grace On Demand

This weekend I saw the play "33 Variations." Knew nothing about it heading over to the Ahmanson on a beautiful Los Angeles Saturday afternoon, but open and excited to be spending the day with my dear friend, Chris. Funny little side note about my friend Chris. Her last name starts with the letter "T," so frequently she appears in lists as ChrisT -- Love That!! So this play gets sort of a slow start, but finishes big and when I say big I mean that three days later I'm still discovering what I liked about it. Today, it seems that the theme that has stayed with me is that no matter what hypothesis begins my day, I will end up where I am meant to be.

Today I will publish this, my first public blog!! I have tossed e-mails back and forth with my friends and I love the feelings that come from lobbing in a few well placed loving thoughts to those in need. But this idea of publishing the random thoughts of an angel who is traversing rather clumsily across this expansive life is a whole new idea for me. I revel in the thoughts and feelings of others and feel, at least today, as though I am willing to have others know me just a little better. So this is me -- constantly trying to adjust the crooked halo and wondering where the bluetooth attachment is so that I can receive the messages that I'm sure must be coming from the Divine while I'm experiencing cosmic dropped calls.

I heard myself saying to someone today that I believe that the Divine sort of picks up the slack for those who simply do not have the resources for the task at hand. This makes me wonder where I am ill-equipped and where I simply need to ask for Grace. Contrary to the title of this particular posting, I do not actually believe that Grace is something to be demanded, but rather something which is simply available for the asking and receiving by the much needed, overly tired, dragged too long through the mud, angel with a slightly crooked halo and cosmic hearing that needs a little fine tuning. This weekend someone used the term "dear ones" to describe everyone in a particular room. Today is one of those days where I will simply, as one of the divine dear ones, humbly request and gratefull receive just a smidgen of Grace.
