Description/excerpt (included in message):
[excerpt] I like to think of grace as as the experience of previously unrealized forms of elegance that arise in response to crisis. In that arising, all those involved are transformed. In moments of grace, new forms are churned into being out of chaos. The 13th century mystic, Meister Eckhart, describes it this way: ``Grace is no stationary thing, it is ever becoming. It is flowing straight out of the heart of God. Grace does nothing but re-form and convey God. It bears the Holy Spirit on its back.`` The Holy Spirit is the embodiment of divine imagination, the soaring creativity of the evolutionary process.
