Amazing Grace

Grace, then, is grace–that is to say, it is sovereign, it is free, it is sure, it is unconditional, and it is everlasting.

“...and with a burning pain in my heart I realized how unnecessary, how petty, and how deceptive all that had hindered us from loving was. I understood that when you Love you must either, in your reasonings about that Love, start from what is highest, from what is more important than happiness or unhappiness, sin or virtue in their accepted meaning, or you must not reason at all.”
― Anton Chekhov

Broken world

“later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?

it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.”

Honour

 
"An honorable human relationship – that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word "Love" – is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.

It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation.

It is important to do this because in doing so we do justice to our own complexity.

It is important to do this because we can count on so few people to go that hard way with us.” 

― Adrienne Rich, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence: Selected Prose, 1966-1978
