Reset con Bonnie Sala

The next time I'm feeling frustrated with myself, not living up to my expectations for my day or for my life, please read me the poem, Grace, by Morgan Harper Nichols.  She writes:

            You have never shamed the waves

            for not arriving on the ocean shore

            any sooner than they were meant to

            and you have never looked above you

            to guilt the clouds for taking their time

            as they cross the noonday sky.

            You simply accept:  these clouds must travel

            at whatever pace they need to.

            Oh,

            what a difference

            it would make if you gave yourself

            this same grace."[1]
