Which wait along the way to transform you.

Episode 830

As we approach Advent and the beginning of a new year in the liturgical tradition, we’re continuing a one-week series on Beginning a New Year. Today we’re reading a selection from John O’Donohue’s poem, “For a New Beginning.”

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.

Monday Meditation: A Blessing for the Upcoming Holiday

For Celebration

Now is the time to free the heart,
Let all intentions and worries stop,
Free the joy inside the self,
Awaken to the wonder of your life.

Open your eyes and see the friends,
Whose hearts recognize your face as kin,
Those whose kindness watchful and near,
Encourages you to live everything here.

See the gifts the years have given,
Things your effort could never earn,
The health to enjoy who you want to be
And the mind to mirror mystery.

– John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us
