DAY 7 ~ CELEBRATING
Rest in Loving Grace
​
And She and He are blessed with Grace
And bless with grace the wholeness.
They came from there
To leave their roots,
Forget their source
and then return
with Grace.
The time has come of this return,
Compassion found - a healing ground,
For-giving Life’s embrace
Where all have space
To live and love and learn,
The path of generosity
And gratitude
And Grace.

Let's sense into essence
Into the Essence of Essence
Each Essence a consciousness all of its own,
A quality a wavelength, a wisdom a tone,
A unique vibration,
An exclusive sensation,
A pulsating partner in all of Creation.​
