“Didn't you say you were a believer? Didn't you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn't you ask for grace?” —Clarissa Pinkola Estes Didn't you say you were a believer? Didn't you ask for grace? Yes. And again, yes. It's another season of calamity and chaos, but I've been blessed with an immense and mysterious peace within a storm that feels larger than life. I have to tell you, though, as the world crashes in on itself these recent years, and a storm crashes into my body, I've sometimes felt ashamed of having peace. I don't know if I'm apologizing for being ashamed of it, or apologizing for actually being at peace, as if my peace could take something away from you.
