Where before there was anonymity, now there is intimacy;
where before there was fear, now there is courage;
where before in your life there was awkwardness, now there is a rhythm of grace and gracefulness;
where before you used to be jagged, now you are elegant and in rhythm with your self.
When love awakens in your life, it is like a rebirth, a new beginning.

which has created us and sustains us here.
Sheltered within the embrace of that Great Belonging
we can dare to let our longing lead us towards the mountain of transfiguration.
Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong,
John O’Donohue
Your soul alone has the map of your future, therefore you can trust this indirect, oblique side of yourself.
If you do, it will take you where you need to go,
but more important it will teach you a kindness of rhythm in your journey.
