The nuns taught us there were only two ways through life- the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow.
Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries.
Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through all things.
What I want to do, I can't do. I do what I hate.
Mother. Make me good. Brave.

help each other. love everyone. every leaf. every ray of light. forgive.



from my favorite film, tree of life by terrence malick.
