Matrix of Grace

Matrix of Grace

Sweet spun chrysalis
 Grace, the matrix of the soul,
  Molds the rebel's heart
Environment of clear bliss
 Speaks in metamorphosis

Oh wow! So happy that an inadvertently dispersed bliss mist in the void inspired these sublime words from your ethereal pen

Your metaphor of metamorphosis is so layered and striking, of course I can't help but think of the emerging butterfly, this is so lovely (by the way, do you think that is where the word 'morph' comes from?)

The algorithm of your matrix is filled with a graceful scientific background. Even though, I do not understand the nature of grace - I know when you have it, it will stay with you forever...

Greeting Pashang! Thank you so much for your message. I am with you when you say you "do not understand the nature of grace" but know it when you see it or experience it. I think coming to an understanding of grace is an integral part of our life's pilgrimage to God. And yes, it does remain forever! Lovely, grace filled thought! Sending you blessings and graitutde for your visit.

Greetings Valsa! Thank you many times over for your lovely message and words of compliment. Seeker really got me thinking about what a matrix is - both building materials and environment. I missed his contest but this contest gave me the chance to finish what I had started - truly a gift of grace. Blessings dear friend! Happy Easter when we celebrate the empty tomb of grace!

Many thanks Andrea! I missed Seeker's contest on the matrix. Was so disappointed as I loved the theme. Was wonderful to have an opportunity to resurrect my notes and work them into a tanka for Brian's contest along with giving credit to Seekert! I am so happy you liked this one. Easter blessings dear friend. Thank you for your message!

I love it, my dearest friend, Sam. Chrysalis, metamorphosis! More Greek words. Excellent Tanka!

Thank you dear Demetrios! We have the Greeks to thank for some wonderful words that have been carried over into English. I love the word, and concept, of chrysalis with its magical and mysterious transformative possibilities! Blessings dear friend. Happy Easter!
