Every December, I
write about the Magic of the Season. It is the Magic of love, compassion, and
generosity. I know it is around all year, but I believe we all connect with it
more strongly at this time. It has the power to open our hearts. And this year,
I have become enchanted with the concept of “Grace”. Grace takes the Magic of
the season and offers a gentle acceptance about life within our hearts.
It all began
while watching the movie “The Tree of Life” where the mother speaks of Grace
versus Nature. “The nuns taught us there are two ways through life, the way of
Nature and the way of Grace. You have to choose which one to follow. Grace
doesn’t try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts
insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself. And others to please
it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be
unhappy, when all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through
all things…” [nature as defined in Bible book 3, chapter 54]
There is magic in
these words that has stayed with me… pondering how to live a life of Grace. To
know that beyond the fear that we can get stuck in, there is Divine
Consciousness; Grace that breathes through our lives. That speaks of gentle
acceptance of everything that happens, because it isn’t personal. That speaks
of guiding us to respond with unconditional love and acceptance instead of
fear. That speaks of seeing “Love smiling through all things”.
However, we must
move beyond our minds, our fears and pain, to a place that exists within all of
us. This magic and grace is the same piece of Divinity that is Source. It is
our Home. It is what makes us all one. However, we have to nurture this Magic,
or else its magnificence fades. We dull magic when ever we are disappointed
like through our fears, pain and attempts to control our lives. It dulls every
time we give our fears more power than the “magic” within us and our lives.
Magic and grace
exist, we just have to hold it within our hearts. And make a conscious choice
to seek this. This time of year magic is strongest, touch upon it… remember it…
rejoice that we have a touch of the Great Mystery within each of us. Let that
magic overflow in all you do. Let your heart remember what it always knew. Find
your own way to let Magic and Grace nurture and foster your Divine Essence. And
let that Essence flow out into your life.
