• Got Grace?

  
  

  Each morning I dialogue with my neuroses and inquire whether they are in a state of acute agitation or in their normal debilitating state.  If the former, I ask for grace to draw deeper reserves of empathy, if the latter, I rely on my regular reservoir of compassion.  Later in the day, this helps me to be gentle with the nuttiness of my neighbors.  from Ruthless Trust, by Brennan Manning
