Grace?

[Krafft, John M.]

If observing/perceiving/understanding things to be exactly as they are
is grace in AD, compare this passage from the end of GR. Surely
Gottfried isn't flying toward grace, is he?

	This ascent will be betrayed to Gravity. But the Rocket engine, the
deep cry of combustion that jars the soul, promises escape. The
victim, in bondage to falling, rises on a promise, a prophecy, of
Escape....
	Moving now toward the kind of light where at last the apple is
apple-colored. The knife cuts through the apple like a knife cutting
an apple. Everything is where it is, no clearer than usual, but
certainly more present.
