Bright Shining Quotes

“our bodies, our misshapen, lumpy, wobbly, birth-marked, uneven, scarred, imperfect bodies are our vessels. If only we were more gracious towards them. They won't last forever, they will eventually grow frail, we will miss the strength and vigour of our younger selves. But, for now, when alive, when upright, when walking through days with purpose, without pain, they are vessels for adventure, for sleep, for song, for dance, and a place where we experience joy.”
― Julia Baird, Bright Shining: How Grace Changes Everything

“Grace is honouring another person' humanity, even when they don't honour yours. Grace is extending a hand, even when a fist might be more deserved.”
