Gentleness is:
Treading lightly on the earth.
A line in nature's liturgy.
A way to be
a way to show up
a gateway into "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding."
A fruit of the Spirit.
Interwoven into the fabric of a spiritually mature person's life who is kind and understanding.
Mysteriously emerges from times of
silence
solitude
and stillness.
A path.
