John O’Donohue was a profound mystic, poet and philosopher. His presence on this earth is missed by many. Here is one of the many blessings he bestowed upon us while he was here.

A BLESSING

May you awaken to the mystery of being here and enter the quiet
immensity of your own presence.

May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.

May you receive great encouragement when new frontiers beckon.


May you respond to the call of your gift and find the courage to follow
its path.

May the flame of anger free you from falsity.

May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame and may anxiety never
linger about you.

May your outer dignity mirror an inner dignity of soul.

May you take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention.

May you be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul.

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

~ John O’Donohue (Anam Cara)
