"Agents of Grace" by William Martin

Sage2.jpg

The sage can find a welcome

in the most inhospitable places

because no one perceives a threat.

People soften in the sage's presence

and minds open up to learning.

Kindly spoken words

open doors that crowbars couldn't budge.


We can transform family gatherings

not by our demands but by our smiles.

We can enliven conversations

rather than dominate them.

We are becoming agents of grace and hope,

rather than of tyranny and despair.
