Will and Grace

The definition of will- the inherent mental power by which a person decides on and initiates action.

The definition of grace- a controled, polite and pleasant way of behaving.

Do you remember that tv show? Will and Grace? I always loved that show. It was funny and one of the first sitcoms to feature two gay men as main characters. It was the first tv series to feature gay characters that ended up in the "must see tv" line up. I haven't really thought about that show for quite some time, but I just started reading Falling into Grace by Adyashanti and yeserday, after I had read a little bit of the book I decided to lay down and rest. I wanted the words I was reading to really sink into my consciousness.

There I was, in the still and quiet, and the words will and grace came to me.

I never really thought about will and grace in this way before, but there it was right there in my consciousness. Some things you can't unsee and now my minds eye is aware that by utilizing my will, I can live my life with grace.

Peace in my heart

Communication is a funny thing. Funny because one string of words could be presented to let's just say three or four different people and every one of those people could and probably would receive very different messages. I guess that's one of the reasons why they say that actions speak louder than words. That doesn't always apply though because there are situations where there are no actions to take.

I was at work the other day and I can't remember the exact situation, but someone said, "Things don't always come across the way you intend." You can be very well intended and put a great deal of thought into a message, but once you release your message out into the world you have no control over how it will be received.

We can make attempts to clarify our intentions, when we are misunderstood. However, sometimes it seems we are not able to get a clear message across, in that case, all we can do is hold on to the knowing we have within ourselves that we were well intended and let go.
