I have heard you speak often, over the years, of John O'Donohue's remarkable Irish gift of blessing with his remarkably life-giving hands.
This poem was a reminder of the resource we all have in the long line of people who came before us, and stand just beyond us still, blessing and sustaining us in difficult times.
I’m so grateful for this blessing today. My mom has been on my mind lately, missing her still these four years later. Always suddenly now, out of no where, there is the grief again and the beauty of her. And my dear friend, Jen, who just passed away this month. Such a soothing for the soul, this blessing.
So potent a message to send to my friends who have lost a dear one in the past year. Grateful for the timing. It carries so much love and fondness and treasured memories of one who is now beyond our touch and sight.
Beautiful. I gather this is a poem inspired by
John O'Donohue.
Thank you so much.
John O'Donohue was such a beautiful soul and one amazing teacher!
