Description
But I want first of all - in fact, as an end to these other desires - to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as I can. I want, in fact - to borrow from the language of the saints - to live "in grace" as much of the time as possible. I am not using this term in a strictly theological sense. By grace I mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be translated into outward harmony.
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh [fr. Gift From The Sea]

My tulips are colorful ..... but for these quiet ones, the dwarf tulips which have nestled themselves gently into their separate space, bending low to the earth every now and again, listening to what secrets it has to share. They are small, the colour of spilled sunshine on placid water, and every now and again I go over to gaze upon their pastel petals, and feel their peace.
