The Secret Heart of Time

The secret heart of time is change and growth. Each new experience that awakens in you adds to your soul and deepens your memory.

The person is always a nomad, journeying from threshold to threshold, into ever different experiences. In each new experience, another dimension of the soul unfolds.

It is no wonder that from ancient times the human has been understood as a wanderer.*

~ John O’Donohue

 

The gift of time opens us to new experiences.

Let us fully embrace the inevitability of change.

This is soul work.

Namaste

  1. John O’Donohue’s book is just so profoundly insightful. Indeed, Jean and I named our property where we live here in Merlin Anam Cara after John’s book. Anam cara is Celtic for soul friend. Precisely what being here feels like.

    Greatly recommended book!

    Thresholds are so meaningful, as we notice each one.

  3. Let us spend time best possible to do exactly, what we feel for, Val. This is not always possible, but something good for our soul every day helps in the long run.
