Just started reading a great book, Gift From the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. I can already tell I am going to love it. The following passage completely resonates with me this morning:
"But I want first of all -- in fact, as an end to these other desires -- to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as I can. I want, in fact--to barrow for the language of the saints--to live "in grace" as much of the time as possible. I am not using this term in a strictly theological sense. By grace I mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be translated into outward harmony."
It is just good stuff.
