The ego goes outside, seeking to pull, manipulate, or trick life to itself, seeking to control, to manage, to get a good or better exchange in its interactions with life. Ego, even in giving, tends to have a stronger motive of getting. Grace gives of Itself freely, naturally, without imposing Itself or pulling life to Itself - this is why Grace, also, is able to purely and readily receive. Recently, he has entered a peaceful sense of this - a calm, need-less sensation, walking among others without needing to draw them to himself, to measure gain or loss in interactions. Beautiful and silent joy, this calm being need-lessly and aim-lessly - being here, now, and with, and neither inside nor outside, and not feeling desire to make anything happen with anyone or anything. Even feeling pleasure or pain in this serenity - this is happening, he is observing, there but nowhere. Hopefully, for him, this is a movement of Soul intimating a new beginning in his life, for Newness keeps unfolding endings and beginnings. Even, today, he wishes not to say "I," just to be in this blissful calm, and thankful quietly.
