In this piece I present the idea that grace calls us to a deeper place, calls on us to be more authentic in the various parts of our lives where it touches us. I believe Grace does that by leaving traces of longing: longing to go back to that state of grace. Having glimpsed a sense of the state of grace - whether by coming through pain or joy - the longing to return to it keeps us alive, keeps us aware of our path and often brings a sense of hope when we pay attention to and contemplate the meaning of it on our life’s journey.
