Longing
Longing is the voice of your soul.
It constantly calls you to be fully present
in your life: to live to the full
the one life given to you.
- John O'Donohue (Eternal Echoes)
I long for inspiration, to stumble into love,
to feel as if I can stop juggling projects
and bring them to fruition.
I long to be heard,
to make a difference,
to just BE instead of DOING way too often.
I long to let go of things not worth holding on to
so my life can hold things shiny and new.
I long to learn how.
Where is your soul calling you?

Thanks for this stimulating post.
Have a nice day, Boonie
Off to play with paint, like I am longing to do...
Happy, Happy New Year to your longing soul, Lovely Meri !
My longing is to be lead by my spirit
and to live fully there. My ego has been in charge too long.
a lovely post. we all stumble at times :)
I love John O'Donohue. And I understand this desire of which you speak. I am always longing for connection. I think it keeps me from doing what I need to be doing to ultimately be connected. I want to simply finish one project that would let me know that I had completed what I started out to do. I feel that if I am able to complete my thesis, I will have at least not simply started something that I believed would be life changing and not finished it. If I don't finish it I will never know what it is like to be on the other side, and the possibility of being heard in that community of people, other therapists, will never materialize. That is my hope for this year.

The anthem of my life. Each day is an opportunity to make a difference. Even if we don't use our voice, our actions make us heard as we make a difference.
