“It's better to be kind than to be right.”
Anne Lamott

Anne Lamott
“Let’s think of reverence as awe, as presence in and openness to the world…Try walking around with a child who’s going, ‘Wow, wow! Look at that dirty dog! Look at that burned-down house! Look at that red sky!’ And the child points, and you look, and you see, and you start going, ‘Wow! Look at that huge crazy hedge! Look at that teeny little baby! Look at the scary dark cloud!’ I think this is how we are supposed to be in the world – present and in awe.”

“Grace is the light or electricity or juice or breeze that takes you from that isolated place and puts you with others who are as startled and embarrassed and eventually grateful as you are to be there.”

“Sometimes grace works like water wings when you feel you are sinking.”
Anne Lamott, Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith

“Peace is joy at rest. Joy is peace on its feet.”
