"May you experience each day ...."

May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.

--> John O’Donohue

"What you encounter ...."

"What you encounter, recognize or discover depends to a large degree on the quality of your approach. Many of the ancient cultures practiced careful rituals of approach. An encounter of depth and spirit was preceded by careful preparation."

"When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things. When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. The rushed heart and arrogant mind lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace."

John O’Donohue

"May we discover ...."

"May we discover
Beneath our fear
Embers of anger
To kindle justice."

"As fire cleanses dross ...."

 

"As fire cleanses dross,

May the flame of passion

Burn away what is false."

"As air intensifies the hunger of fire ...."

"As air intensifies the hunger of fire,
May the thought of death
Breathe new urgency
Into our love of life."
