The greatest friend of the soul is the unknown  (John ODonohue Quotes) When one flower blooms spring awakens everywhere  (John ODonohue Quotes) Take time to see the quiet miracles thatseek no attention  (John ODonohue Quotes) The sacred duty of being an individual is to gradually learn how to live so as to awaken the eternal within you.  (John ODonohue Quotes) May I live this day... Compassionate of heart, / Gentle in word, / Gracious in awareness / Courageous in thought, / Generous in love / Eternal Echoes  (John ODonohue Quotes) I don’t believe you have to get a peaceful heart, I think there is a native tranquility within each of us that’s already there. And through quieting your mind and your heart, you can slip right down into it  (John ODonohue Quotes) Much of the stress and emptiness that haunt us can be traced back to our lack of attention to beauty. Internally, the mind becomes coarse and dull if it remains unvisited by images and thoughts that hold the radiance of beauty  (John ODonohue Quotes) The beauty of the Catholic church is that it has a sacramental structure that can hold its own with the best out of any tradition. It has a mystical system and content that can hold its own with the best out of Tibet... its an amazing tradition, but I think you need to be critical  (John ODonohue Quotes) When we hear some beautiful piece of Mozart or admire a wonderful building, we suddenly become present in ourselves. That’s unusual nowadays because dishevelment and distraction have become an art form  (John ODonohue Quotes) Our trust in the future has lost its innocence. We know now that anything can happen from one minute to the next. Politics, religion, economics, and the institutions of family and community all have become abruptly unsure.  (John ODonohue Quotes) The human soul is hungry for beauty; we seek it everywhere - in landscape, music, art, clothes, furniture, gardening, companionship, love, religion, and in ourselves. No one would desire not to be beautiful. When we experience the beautiful, there is a sense of homecoming.  (John ODonohue Quotes) I always was kind of on the edge of the church when I was fully in it, cos I was always asking the questions... And I could never believe blindly.  (John ODonohue Quotes) Most people are enduring a marginalized isolation. One of the great obstacles to modern friendships is the ‘religion of rush.’ People are rushing all the time through time. Friendship takes time.  (John ODonohue Quotes) You can never love another person unless you are equally involved in the beautiful but difficult spiritual work of learning to love yourself.  (John ODonohue Quotes) Beauty does not linger; it only visits. Yet beauty’s visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm; it calls us to feel, think and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful. A life without delight is only half a life.  (John ODonohue Quotes) When we hear the word ‘beauty’, we inevitably think that beauty belongs in a special elite realm where only the extraordinary dwells. Yet without realizing it, each day each one of us is visited by beauty. When you actually listen to people, it is surprising how often beauty is mentioned. A world without beauty would be unbearable.  (John ODonohue Quotes) You can trust the promise of this opening; Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning That is at one with your life’s desire.  (John ODonohue Quotes) Our world is becoming more busy and noisy. We are pushing silence out of our lives at a rate that suggests a fear of what it has to say to us about ourselves.  (John ODonohue Quotes) We live between the act of awakening and the act of surrender. Each morning, we awaken to the light and the invitation to a new day in the world of time; each night, we surrender to the dark to be taken to play in the world of dreams where time is no more.  (John ODonohue Quotes) In the name of the Fire, The Flame And the Light; Praise the pure presence of fire That burns from within Without thought of time.  (John ODonohue Quotes) A generous heart is never lonesome. A generous heart has luck. The lonesomeness of contemporary life is partly due to the failure of generosity. Increasingly we complete with each other for the goods, for image, and status.  (John ODonohue Quotes) I always was kind of on the edge of the church when I was fully in it , cos I was always asking the questions... And I could never believe blindly  (John ODonohue Quotes) If you try to view yourself through the lenses that others offer you, all you will see are distortions; your own light and beauty will become blurred, awkward, and ugly. Your sense of inner beauty has to remain a very private thing  (John ODonohue Quotes) The sacred duty of being an individual is to gradually learn how to live so as to awaken the eternal within you  (John ODonohue Quotes) Listen carefully to yourself. Listen to what you dislike, and you will find most of the imagery is what you have received and registered from other people. We ingest labels from others  (John ODonohue Quotes) There is an instinct that emerges when we get quiet with people. We know who’s close  (John ODonohue Quotes) We need great prophetic leaders in religion and in spirituality... what we are getting is lacking in vision... not able to engage with the diversity of the culture  (John ODonohue Quotes) If you are striving to be equal to your destiny and worthy of the possibilities that sleep in the clay of your heart, then you should be regularly reaching new horizons  (John ODonohue Quotes) There is an unseen life that dreams us; it knows our true direction and destiny. We can trust ourselves more than we realize, and we need have no fear of change  (John ODonohue Quotes) All the possibilities of your human destiny are asleep in your soul. You are here to realize and honor these possibilities. When love comes in to your life, unrecognized dimensions of your destiny awaken and blossom and grow. Possibility is the secret heart of time  (John ODonohue Quotes)
