GRACE: Elegance in Spirit & Motion

As a composer and pianist, I think of grace as permission that allows me to miss a beat or a note, or to resolve a finger slip into something new—and sometimes the result is even better than what I had originally intended. Grace is the quiet rest that helps you find meaning in your day, like an unexpected chord that turns tension into beauty. It’s the moment of reflection you didn’t expect—but actually needed.

Grace is forgiveness, offering reassurance that, in the end, things will work out. They say, “If you don’t like the way your story is ending, then you’re not at the end of it.” Grace allows us the transformative freedom to continue until we experience the right and perfect conclusion to each of our lived stories.

“I do not at all understand the mystery of grace—only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.”—Anne Lamott

I wish you a day, a week, a month—a lifetime!—of grace. Please enjoy our five-minute video, Grace, and prime yourself to up your Grace Game. —Jonathan
