Exhausted? Stay Clear of those Vexed in Spirit: John O'Donohue

A Woman of Ease

Exhausted? Need to recharge your batteries?

"Stay clear of those vexed in spirit.

Learn to linger around someone of ease

Who feels they have all the time in the world."

John O'Donohue

Come. Rest. Refresh.

With the Smallest Seed of Faith and a Little Fairy Dust All Things are Possible

 

Accept Miracles

Miracles happen after a lot of hard work. 

Endure.

With the smallest seed of faith,

And a little fairy dust,

All things are possible.

Believe.

Susan J Meyerott

For all who are struggling with one difficulty or another. 

You've got this. You can get through it. You are strong.

 For One Who Is Exhausted, a Blessing

"You have been forced to enter empty time.

The desire that drove you has relinquished.

There is nothing else to do now but rest

And patiently learn to receive the self

You have forsaken for the race of days.

At first your thinking will darken

And sadness take over like listless weather.

The flow of unwept tears will frighten you.

You have traveled too fast over false ground;

Now your soul has come to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses, open up

To all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain

When it falls slow and free.

Imitate the habit of twilight,

Taking time to open the well of color

That fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone

Until its calmness can claim you.

Be excessively gentle with yourself.

Stay clear of those vexed in spirit.

Learn to linger around someone of ease

Who feels they have all the time in the world.

Gradually, you will return to yourself,

Having learned a new respect for your heart

And the joy that dwells far within slow time."

John O'Donohue

Lightarted Living: Underneath the Darkness There is Always Light

Lightarted Living: Underneath the Darkness There is Always Light:   Inside Your Head What's going on inside your head? When you look out of your eyes, do you  see the darkness or the light of your life?...

Underneath the Darkness There is Always Light

 

Inside Your Head

What's going on inside your head?

When you look out of your eyes, do you 

see the darkness or the light of your life?

Do you see the opportunities or the roadblocks?

Do you see the challenges or the obstacles?

How do you Begin your Day?

When you greet the day,

do you open your eyes looking 

for the sweet wags of puppy dog tails 

or the scary teeth of beasts out to do you harm?

Are you left feeling hopeful or full of despair?

Tap into Your Light and Strength

Within in all of us 

is the ability to tap into our own light.

Beneath any darkness or dire circumstances

that may momentarily overwhelm you,

lies your strength, resiliency, and light.

Reach for that inner strength and light within you.

As Amanda Gorman so poetically stated:

"For there is always light if only we're brave enough to see it;

If only we're brave enough to be it."

Be Brave. Be the Light. See the Light.

Trust your strength. 

Trust your ability to handle whatever life throws at you.

Dig deep and access that well of light within you.

Live in the light of hope.
