Lucy Grace
The Pulse of Nature: Opening to the Unplanned Path
Lucy Grace never intended to embark upon a formal spiritual path. Yet, again and again, she has felt called deeper into it. Raised by a young, single mother in an impoverished neighborhood in New Zealand, riddled with gang violence and burglaries, Lucy experienced significant trauma throughout childhood. Her mother worked at a secondhand shop, but meager earnings meant they sometimes went without food, heat, furniture or schoolbooks. Despite the violence and trauma Lucy experienced, she often felt joyful as a child. She also had a keen sense that she didn’t fit, though, that she was in the wrong place. As an only child without much exposure to the world beyond her immediate surroundings, Lucy discovered the gift of spaciousness within herself. In her poem, “Kairos Time,” she wrote, “I lived my whole life / on a whim and a dime / – on God’s time / found solace and / wonderment / in the light that lives / inside the darkest quiet.” Today, Lucy is a spiritual guide who humbly observes that we are, each of us, teachers. She is also a mystic, holistic therapist, and the poet author of This Untameable Light.
