word to the wise...

I stumbled on this poem/thought yesterday when I was reading a book of poems, Honor Yourself by Terri St. Cloud. (check it out)

 As someone who has heard the word "grace" a bit too many times in my life, I was hesitant that this would strike me in any new way. 

But it did and it's brilliant:

                      grace

maybe grace is figuring out its not

                 all about you.

that people are doing what they're

   doing for their own reasons.

                    not yours.

and maybe grace is accepting that.
