when love holds the scale...




Look
what happens to the scale
when love
holds it.

It
stops
working.

--Kabir (c.1140-1518)





as I cross the threshold into a new decade of life--the 40s--I am grateful for the ways that the scales have stopped working.
the body comparison scale is definitely rusty
the "what-do-they-think" scale has the screws loose
the achievement scale has a new balance system called grace

Here is an encouraging line from a hymn about grace:

"Grace that exceeds all our sin and our guilt . . . " (Julia Johnston)
