May I live this day
Compassionate of heart,
Clear in word,
Gracious in awareness,
Courageous in thought,
Generous in love.

JOHN O’DONOHUE

Excerpt from ‘Matins’ in his books, Benedictus (Europe) /
To Bless the Space Between Us (US)

Stained for good

Jagged uneven pieces
Discarded for garbage
Hardly pieces of art
Until the Light

Explodes me instantaneously
To a panoramic brilliance of beams
That eyes can only merely see
But souls understand
experience         
Creating me
STAINED FOR GOOD
Assuring
that even a space
that once held a tinged altarpiece
still lets in Light
