transformation

There are moments of grace that come at unexpected times. Then there are moments of grace that come out of deep struggle and anguish. In two days I have witnessed three transformations occur before my very eyes. It looks like scales falling off of ones eyes, a veil dropping, a light bulb coming on, a flood gate of tears that pours until there are no more to cry. When one is honoured to participate in this intimate moment, there is no response other than sheer soft silence. This is a graced filled aha!
