May I see it in her eyes 
as it is 
in my eyes also.
May I hear it in his voice 
as it is 
in my voice also.
May I offer it in silence 
and 
receive it in words 
that reside unspoken in their hearts 
as it resides 
in my heart also. 
May I simply be 
for her 
and for him 
and for all of them 
the Grace 
that 
seeks 
me 
also. 

*With thanks again to Ted Nottingham’s writing in The Spiritual Origins of the Fourth Way, p. 219: “…we cooperate with the grace that seeks that person.”
