' End Desires '...

I want first of all - in fact,, as an end to these other desires - to be at peace with myself.. I want a singleness of eye,, a purity of intention,, a central core to my life,, that will enable me, to carry out these obligations and activities, as well as I can.. I want,, in fact - to borrow from the language of the saints - to live 'in grace' as much of the time as possible.. I am not using this term in a strictly theological sense.. By grace I mean an inner harmony,, essentially spiritual,, which can be translated into outward harmony.. ................... Anne Morrow Lindbergh
