The last and nobleist part of beauty is grace.
Thomas Reid
‘Grace doesn’t make a fuss about itself, but it subtly warms and transforms the atmosphere.
At its essence, grace is the transference of well-being from one who is calm and comfortable to those around her.
The graceful person is the image of our ideal selves, the embodiment of the dream we have of existing easily in the world.
This is why we are so moved by graceful people, who carry themselves with ease and unselfconsciousness, who seem at peace.
There is a contented silence to grace; it avoids what is loud and intrusive, and what offends the eye.
We’re living in what I call a grace gap.
Witnessing grace pleases the senses, brightens the mood, and inspires a feeling of ease….when grace enters the room, our cold, hard, tottering world becomes a better place to live.’
From The Art of Grace by Sarah Kauffman
Dedicated to Maggi…your Hepburn-like grace is an inspiration to us all.
