    About this ebook

    Life often reveals itself in ways we would not choose. Yet in those devastating times, the resilience of the human spirit has the opportunity to shine. It is in those moments that Grace comes to weave the fabric we call life. Herein are the stories told in letters to my friend.

    I have been afforded the opportunity to experience the benevolence of humanity, the selfless gifts of those whose hearts were touched by horrific events. These are the uplifting journeys in Grace Has a Silent Voice.

      FOREWORD

      A story evokes our emotions and memories, including those quiet tears and the realization that we are connected to something so much bigger than the world we see around us. The story is an invocation of a time known by the author, who now shares the contours of his or her world with us. There are natural storytellers, those whose stories are as genuine as the author’s heart and soul. Free of histrionics and unnecessary exaggerations, theirs are fed by the fires of sincerity and the need to make sense of the life that is theirs. It is because of this that we are inspired and moved by their words. Nina Kelly is such a teller of story.

      In this series of letters written to a friend, Nina Kelly reminds us that resilience often lives side by side with grief, doubt, love, and joy. In one letter we are brought into the domain of the unimaginable wherein Nina has to tell a man that his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident. If that hell were not enough, she has to ask if he would agree to have their organs donated so that another could see the new dawn. In his acceptance, we can literally feel the presence of grace in life. As they are woven throughout this book, we see how life and death, as well as grace and tragedy, create the tapestry of life.

      And then we read of a time when the muse arrived in the middle of a profoundly moving symphonic experience to tell her that a loved one would soon be gone. As a scribe recording the commandments from a high, she feverishly wrote every word and line that came to her during this visitation. Then the reality of what these muses wanted her to know came crashing down into her world as her beloved was suddenly found dead.

      So words, invocation, and the power of what is in her heart allow us all to feel what it means to fully live in the world while imitating the much larger scope of living beyond the veil of all that is familiar a little more deeply and little more meaningfully.

      And now there are the other letters in this book waiting to be opened. These letters are a gift to all of us on life’s journey, reminding us of the native resilience alive in our souls. So with a cup of tea or glass of port, relax in
