"Moynahan Men" study Artist: Cindi Moynahan-Foreman |
My heart is filled with such gratitude
to have these two wonderful men in my life.
to have these two wonderful men in my life.
Bless the Space Between Us
There is a quiet light that shines in every heart.
It draws no attention to itself,
though it is always secretly there.
though it is always secretly there.
It is what illuminates our minds to see beauty,
our desire to seek possibility,
and our hearts
to love life.
Without this subtle quickening
our
days would be empty and wearisome,
and no horizon
would ever awaken our longing.
Our passion for life is quietly sustained
from
somewhere in us
that is welded to the energy and
excitement of life.
This shy inner light is what
enables us
to recognize and receive our very presence
here as blessing.
We enter the world as strangers
who all at once
become heirs
to a harvest of memory,spirit,and
dream
that has long preceded us
that has long preceded us
and will now enfold,
nourish, and sustain us.
The gift of the world is our first blessing.
The opening paragraph of the book
"To Bless the Space Between Us:
A Book of Blessings"
John O'Donohue
