Thought for Today: Belonging

I'm introducing a new occasional item to this website. A thought which I hope may resonate with some of my readers as it resonates with me. This is a short verse from a wonderful book called 'Eternal Echoes' by the Irish philosopher writer John O'Donohue. This meditative tome is dedicated 'for the ones who inhabit lives where belonging is torn and longing is numbered.'

I arise today

Blessed be all things

wings of breath,

delight of eyes,

wonder of whisper,

intimacy of touch,

eternity of soul,

urgency of thought,

miracle of health,

embrace of God

May I live this day

Compassionate of heart,
