mornings with mary, the art of seeing

 

 

A Blessing of Solitude

by John O’Donohue

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 own 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 your life there is something
beautiful, good, and eternal happening.
May you learn to see yourself with the same delight, pride,
and expectation with which God sees you in every moment.

You always seem to come up with not only a beautiful picture, but beautiful and meaningful words to go along with it. Lovely! I think those orbs in your photo must be something quite spiritual.

Be happy today. xo
