Daddy lovely legs

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of long legs cast by a shadowI was most definitely a daddy’s girl growing up.

I recall many moments of grace with him. My most immediate memory was at the end of the day when he would return home from work and I would greet him at the door by throwing my small arms around his wonderful legs.

Both my parents were ballroom dancers.

They danced simply for pleasure. Both were truly a graceful site to behold as joy and light filled their union of elegant movement.

Needless to say, both had beautiful bodies. But it was Dad’s legs which evoked a feeling in me, which still remains.

I can’t put in to words what that feeling is, other than to call it grace. Continue reading

Eternity

All I have to do is look into your eyes
And all I see is real
Eternity

Holding in my gaze the life of you so full
It’s hard to comprehend
Eternity

See me…feel you
Touch the very core of you
All I need to see is you
Eternity

So now I will release all ties from the past
And I’ll be One again
Eternity

Moments of grace in life’s little moments

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of a blue eyeOne of my earliest recollections of the gift of grace in my life was an interaction I shared with Sister Catherine, my 1st grade teacher. I loved Sister Catherine in an all-encompassing way.

One day, we were discussing names and she said to me that my given name, Karen, was the Danish derivative of her chosen name, Catherine. She told me that our names mean ‘purity’.

I was only 6 years old, but the feeling of expansion and the sense of space I experienced in that moment remains with me today.

She joined with me in likeness, through our mutual purity — hers chosen, mine given — and gave to me the gift of grace.

It’s not something that can be planned.

It can be desired, but even the desire for a moment of grace seems to make it elusive. Continue reading

Prayer for reliving the past

Dear God,

I am afraid of reliving my past.
Please help me to remember,
that I have grown and changed.
I have had many wonderful experiences
in my life,
that have shown me a glimpse
of my true Self.
There is a part of me,
I have found,
that is strong and at peace.
Which gives love freely,
and sees the good in all things.
Please dear Lord,
help me to remember.
Show me what I have to do to remember You,
in everyone and everything.

Thank You
Amen.
