December classes ("Holiday De-stressor") began this week. As usual at the beginning of each class I do a reading and a reflection to set the tone of our practice. For week #1 our story was entitled Grace from Kitchen Table Wisdom by Rachel Naomi Remen MD. This story highlights the belief that, if we are not ready for a transformative experience we will miss it.... a bag of gold will look like a rock and we will pass it by. Readiness is essential for each one of us to progress mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Readiness requires that we surrender our old worn out views, release what no longer serves us and begin to listen more deeply. It requires humility, curiosity and wonder.
I think this story also shares that "grace" is available to us regularly. Can you find daily moments of grace in your life?
