Yesterday I shared one of John O Donohues blessings for the morning taken from his book ‘To Bless the space between us’; as I read the next few pages of his book this morning I discovered this, its entitled, ‘For a New beginning’

Maybe this is for you, maybe this is for me, every day is a potential new beginning, do share with others whom it may be helpful to.

A New Beginning

In Out of the way places of the heart,

Where your thoughts never think to wander,

This beginning has been quietly forming,

Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,

Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,

Noticing how you have willed yourself on,

Still unable to leave what you had outgrown

It watched you play with the seduction of safety

And the gray promises that sameness whispered,

Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,

Wondered you would always live like this

Then the delight when your courage kindled,

And out you stepped onto new ground

Your eyes again with energy and dream

A path of plentitude opening before you

Though your destination is not yet clear,

You can trust the promise of this opening,

Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning

This is at one with your life desire

Awaken your spirit to adventure,

Hold nothing back, learn and find ease in risk,

Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,

For your soul senses the world that awaits you

(John O Donohue, To bless the space between us)
