May you recognize in your life
the presence,
power, and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are
never alone,
that your soul in its
brightness and belonging
connects you intimately with
the rhythm of the universe.
May you have respect for your
individuality and difference.
May you realize that the shape
of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny
here,
that behind the facade of your
life
there is something beautiful
and eternal happening.
May you learn to see your self
with the same delight,
pride, and expectation
with which God sees you in
every moment.
John O’Donohue
Each time I read something from John O'Donohue, I connect with that essence he writes so eloquently about. He reminds us that in our uniqueness we are shining brightly even when we can't feel it. How filled with wonder and astonishment I am when I look beyond the facade of my life and see the eternal, beautiful rhythm of the universe connecting us all.
