Reduction

Photo by Jennie Roberts Jenkins

Grace is a compassionate combustion 
of love and hope, 
providing a constant warmth, 
evaporating the fear,
anxiety, and condemnation—

both of self and other – 
by which our individual selves, 
our interpersonal relationships, 
and our whole world  
have been diluted and polluted. 

Its gentle flame awakens spices
and scents interwoven
throughout our spiritual DNA,
freeing us to a life of rich reduction,
infusing the world around us
with essence of the divine.
