NP but Grace again....

[Mark Kohut]

And might that Grace move from Western Christian to Eastern be
part of what TRP does????.......(we might remember, Alice would, that
the movement passes thru Hemingway " Under Pressure" and others.

And, Ian, is your post a summary of part of what TRP embeds in
Cyprian's growth?

That's easy, for those with a little experience: grace erupts
spontaneously, but requires practice to sustain its impetus.
