Riddle Sideways: don't really understand Grace
Adams Rubble: one way to think of it as what comes to you when you do wu wei
Riddle Sideways: after last week session, went down the Hebrew roots of how English got to Grace
Adams Rubble: it is the peace that comes from meditating
Riddle Sideways: ah good
Riddle Sideways: have already discussed 'full of grace' vs 'graceful'
Riddle Sideways: completely different
Adams Rubble: yes, graceful derives from grace
Adams Rubble: a metaphor :)
Adams Rubble: someone who dances or walks beautifully reminds us of the effect5s of grace
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: like the walking style after meditation or meditative exercises

Riddle Sideways: compared to the walking style when the weight of the world is on one's shoulders
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: shhhh
Adams Rubble: Trump walking back to the whote house after Tulsa
Adams Rubble: not graceful
Riddle Sideways: so both defines are related
Adams Rubble: The term Grace is used much in Christianity. For me it was helpful to relate it to other traditions
Riddle Sideways: was thinking Grace was derived from Hebrew Chesed through a twisted path
Adams Rubble: it is derived from hebrew
Adams Rubble: a superior giving favors to an inferior
Adams Rubble: the inferior opens to it
Adams Rubble: by asking for it or just needing it
Adams Rubble: in Christian terms it is having faith that it is being bestowed
Riddle Sideways: foggy, remembering that now
Adams Rubble: God does the rest

Riddle Sideways: sometimes try to put self into the mind set of the People following Moses
Adams Rubble listens
Riddle Sideways: Moses talks with G-d and tries to pass on faith in the Grace bestowed
Riddle Sideways: often think of being one of the ones in the Host (huge gathering)
Riddle Sideways: and too far back to hear correcly
