  1. ORDINARY GRACE 💎

    Brunch was good today.

    It was cleaning Sunday, so we had hamburgers at Grill’d.

    Afterwards, I walked from North Hobart into the city to meet Pete.

    Now I am home, fresh from breathwork, feeling grateful and wondering what I could possibly have done to deserve such abundance.

    Probably nothing.

    Deserving belongs to the world of deals and bargains.

    Be good, get rewarded.

    Work hard, earn the prize.

    But this does not feel like a prize.

    It feels like life simply giving itself.

    A clean house.

    A delicious hamburger.

    A long #walk through quiet #Hobart.

    Breath moving through my body.

    Peter.

    Two small white #pups.

    A #tranquil afternoon.

    Nothing dramatic.

    Nothing earned.

    Just ordinary #grace.

    Perhaps grace is not the great event we are waiting for.

    Perhaps it is this.

    Life is already here in all its glory, before we decide whether we deserve it or not...

  2. A quotation from Montaigne

    But I do not approve of what I see in use, that is, to seek to affirm and support our religion by the prosperity of our enterprises. Our belief has other foundation enough, without going about to authorize it by events: for the people being accustomed to such plausible arguments as these and so proper to their taste, it is to be feared, lest when they fail of success they should also stagger in their faith.
     
    [Mais je trouve mauvais ce que je voy en usage, de chercher à fermir & appuyer nostre religion par la prosperité de nos entreprises. Nostre creance a assez d’autres fondemens, sans l’authoriser par les evenemens. Car le peuple accoustumé à ces argumens plausibles, & proprement de son goust, il est danger, quand les evenemens viennent à leur tour contraires & des-avantageux, qu’il en esbranle sa foy.]
