Evening class:

A friend of mine once asked me to define grace. Not physical grace, of which this friend possesses much; rather the transendent act of grace. This evening's class was an example.

Grace is being frustrated assisting in finger painting class in the morning, and then in spite of my attitude, recieving a private lesson with an attentive Rembrandt in the evening. 

Grace always makes you feel at once shocked at the lowness of your own emotions and awed at the endless, beautiful, bounty of the universe. 

With the deepest and humblest gratitude…..
