May I live this day
Compassionate of heart,
Clear in word,
Gracious in awareness,
Courageous in thought,
Generous in love.
JOHN O’DONOHUE
Excerpt from ‘Matins’ in his books, Benedictus (Europe) /
To Bless the Space Between Us (US)
Stained for good
Jagged uneven pieces
Discarded for garbage
Hardly pieces of art
Until the Light
Explodes me instantaneously
To a panoramic brilliance of beams
That eyes can only merely see
But souls understand
experience
Creating me
STAINED FOR GOOD
Assuring
that even a space
that once held a tinged altarpiece
still lets in Light
