the posture of grace

You must forgive in order to understand. 

Until you forgive, 

you defend yourself against the possibility of understanding...

 If you forgive... 

you may indeed still not understand, 

but you will be ready to understand, 

and that is the posture of grace.

  3. Hi, Granny Annie posted about your blog and artwork. She was not mistaken. You have such a wonderful talent. I invite you to join me and others for my Friday Face OFF. (FFO) Any kind of face. I would love for all of the other artists to see your work. Nice to meet you.

  4. Your artwork is beautiful! I agree, when we forgive, we may still not understand, but sometimes you don't need to.
