This week, in all the preparations, busyness and uncertainty, take a few minutes to stop, and sit with these words:
May you recognise in your life the presence, power,
and light of your soul.
May you realise that you are never alone,
that your soul in it’s brightness and belonging connects
you intimately with the rhythm of this universe.
May you have respect for your own individuality
and difference.
May you realise that the shape of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the facade of your life there is something
beautiful, good and eternal happening.
May you learn to see yourself with the same delight,
pride, and expectation with which God sees you
in every moment.
John O’Donohue, The Silver Pen
I wish you a peaceful, simple and reflective Christmas, where the things that really matter to you are centre place and you know what it is to see yourself with the same delight with which God sees you
