Life is ... ?

"In the last analysis all moments are key moments. Life itself is grace." - Frederick Buechner

I agree with Buechner. Well, about the key moments, but I don't understand what he means by life being grace. We receive grace daily, but saying life is grace is like saying life is redemption, or life is sanctification, or life is ... a noun? I don't like life being a noun. Life is a verb. Life is redeeming or life is growing or dying or life is loving. But what is the object? Life is redeeming what or loving what? Now it sounds like we're only describing and not defining life. The problem with nouns is that they're stationary, and describing, well, defining life as an abstract idea keeps it unrelatable. If we're defining and not describing life I like to call it a journey. Its a noun that is full of implied action, adventure, ups and downs, perils, and most importantly a mission. A journey is going somewhere. Grace is not. But along that journey all moments are key moments because they all change the experience and some may call for a change of course.
