Grace is a way of being, of how you treat people, a state of mind, all in acceptance. When someone is in a true state of grace, they accept that people, things, circumstances just are. They are not to be judged, and therefore, allowed to live without fear of trivial perception . The symbol for grace is a series of wavy lines, such as a wave. Signifying calmness, water accepts a pebble, begins the ripples only to become calm again.
In my twenty's, I happened upon a poster of "The Three Graces" in a little shop in San Francisco. They've been in my thoughts throughout the years, as though they were a part of me. Just as the memory of seeing them and the feeling they brought on, leads me to my two sisters. I remember looking for it again, whenever I came upon photo's or poster's in shops. Whatever the kinship I felt, it remains still. The kinship is my own two sisters and the respect I feel for them. I am proud to call these beautiful and amazing women, each with their own state of grace, my sisters.
Along with my sisters, I've been very blessed to have known so many beautiful women, Not enough time to mention them all... but I must try.
