so inviting
AWAKEN TO THE INVITATION
As the density of night gives way to the bright song of the dawn, so your soul continually coaxes you to give way to the light and awaken. Longing is the voice of your soul, it constantly calls you to be fully present in your life: to live to the full the one life given to you. Rilke said to the young poet, “Live everything.” You are here on earth now, yet you forget so easily. You traveled a great distance to get here. The dream of your life has been dreamed from eternity. You belong within a great embrace that urges you to have the courage to honor the immensity that sleeps in your heart. When you learn to listen to and trust the wisdom of your soul’s longing, you will awaken to the invitation of graced belonging that inhabits the generous depths of your destiny. You will become aware of the miracle of presence within and around you.
– John O’Donohue
Like this ocean
Needs the moon
Like my coffee
Needs the cream
Like my music
Bleeds dark blue
So do I need you
Like the body
Water craves
Like the frugal
Money save
Like the artist
Must create
So do I need you
I need you
like breathe
Like food
Like rain
I need you
Right now
And every day
Like the waves
Must kiss the shore
So do I need you
Always
So do I need you
