Journer: What is “grace” all about?
Nez: My student* said, “Man [sic] is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue.”
Journer: What does “glue” mean here?
Nez: There is for us one creation, one universe, one galaxy, one planet. No matter how much it all feels like it’s coming apart – including our own broken lives – it’s all being reunited moment by moment.
