A NEW BEGINNING
FOR A NEW BEGINNINGIn out-of-the way places of the heart, Where your thoughts never think to wander,This beginning has been quietly forming.Waiting until you were ready to emerge. For a long time it has watched your desire,Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,Noticing how you willed yourself on,Still unable to leave what you had outgrown. It watched you play with the seduction of safetyAnd the gray promises that sameness whispered,Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,Wondered would you always live like this. Then the delight, when you courage kindled,And out you stepped onto new ground,Your eyes young again with energy and dream,A path of plenitude opening before you. Though your destination is not yet clear]You can trust the promise of this opening;Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginningThat is at one with your life's desire. Awaken your spirit to adventure;Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,For your soul senses the world that awaits you.FOR A NEW BEGINNING by John O'DonohueREFLECTION:Are you staying you your safety zone... your familiar routine?What have you outgrown but are reluctant to change?Is there new pathway for your this year?New adventures await... what spirit of adventure needs to be awakened in you?Find ease in risk... seek a new rhythm.
