For Solitude - behind the facade of life


A blessing By John O'Donohue
from his book "To Bless the Space Between Us"
published by Doubleday
1st Edition


For Solitude


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 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.
