John O'Donohue

In this lyrical and provocative work, an acclaimed poet and scholar offers a Celtic exploration of the longing within us that leads to creativity and desperation--and embraces suffering as well as celebration.

Eternal Echoes

Laura Mei

Each one of us journeys alone to this world and it is our nature to seek out belonging. Each of us carries a unique world within our hearts. Each soul is a different shape. No one feels your life as you do; no one experiences things the way you do. No one knows what your experience is like. Yet no individual is sealed off or hermetically self-enclosed. Though each soul is individual and unique, by its very nature the soul cannot cut itself off from the world. The deepest nature of the soul is relationship. Consequently, it is your soul that longs to belong; it is also your soul that makes all belonging possible. When we belong, we have an outside mooring to prevent us from falling into ourselves. Your soul is ancient and eternal and weaves you into the great tapestry of spirit that connects everything everywhere. Each of us brings something alive in the world that no one else can. There is a profound necessity at the heart of individuality. When your life awakens and you begin to sense the destiny that brought you here, you endeavour to live a life that is generous and worthy of the blessing and invitation that is always calling you.
