    Adams Rubble: what did you want to say about grace?

    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

    Adams Rubble: rain droplets are rolling down the wndow; the leaves on the tree are starting to dance
    Riddle Sideways: such a scene

    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
