My dad would often paraphrase one of Jesus’s sayings when he knew one of his committees needed to take a break, “It’s time for us to go apart, before we come apart.”

Today, step apart from the world for a few minutes. Refuel within your internal sanctuary. The world needs you whole and balanced in the midst of our crazed environment.

We need a little sprinkle of grace. We’ve just completed election day here in the USA. However, the tumult is not over, here or in other areas of the world.

We need to calm ourselves, hopefully calming the trembling fields of energy and present stress of COVID-19. Let’s put down our frustrations, anger, and exhausted fear and call forth grace. Our cells need it.

Grace is a palpable literal substance. I'm sure you’ve felt it. Grace can befall us when we least expect it (thank you God) or when we intentionally call grace forward.

Today, let’s begin a practice of cultivating grace. It's a simple process of being of present to yourself and inviting in a stronger awareness of the ever-present substance and sustenance of healing grace.

I trust this practice shared within today’s podcast will serve you today and for many days to come.
