“My own definition of grace is: First of all, to be fully, thrillingly alive. None of us has done anything to earn the awe and wonder we witness on this planet, the ability to wander through the natural world and be both diminished and expanded by its glory…

Second, and most fundamentally, grace is something undeserved. In its crudest interpretation, karma is getting what you deserve. Grace is the opposite: forgiving the unforgivable, favoring the undeserving, loving the unlovable.”
