+ This post offers an inspirational poem by John O'Donohue that can be useful for any new beginning. There is a particular new beginning for which I am offering this poem. On February 1, 2021, the Facebook group SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS 2020 will become THE NEW FAITH FOR THE NEW EARTH Facebook group. I got to see this poem because it was posted recently on the Weaving Home Facebook page.
A NEW BEGINNING
In out-of-the-way
places of the heart,
Where your
thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has
been quietly forming,
Waiting until you
were ready to emerge.
For a long time it
has watched your desire,
Feeling the
emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you
willed yourself on,
Still unable to
leave what you had outgrown.
It watched you
play with the seduction of safety
And the gray
promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of
turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you
always live like this.
Then the delight,
when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped
onto new ground,
Your eyes young
again with energy and dream,
A path of
plenitude opening before you.
Though your
destination is not yet clear
You can trust the
promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself
into the grace of beginning
That is at one
with your life's desire.
Awaken your spirit
to adventure;
Hold nothing back,
learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be
home in a new rhythm,
For your soul
senses the world that awaits you.
From his books 'To
Bless the Space Between Us' (US) / Benedictus (Europe)
