Love With Gravities Grace

In work of love, the body forgets its weight. And once again with
love and singing in mind, I come to what must come to me,
carried as a dancer by a song. 
This grace is gravity.

~ Wendell Berry

Create Peace Within & Harmony With Nature & Social

Shower Thy grace upon us in the moment of our greatest need,
protect us from ourselves, and allow us to be a beacon of light
rather than a dark cloud for the ambiance that surrounds us.

Only with Thy aid can we create that peace within and harmony
with the outer environment, both nature and social,
for which our souls yearn.
~ Seyyed Hossein Nasr
from Talking to God: Portrait of a World at Prayer (anthology)
