For a New Beginning<\/strong><\/p>\n

By John O\u2019Donohue<\/p>\n

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
\nWhere your thoughts never think to wander,
\nThis beginning has been quietly forming,
\nWaiting until you were ready to emerge.<\/p>\n

\nFor a long time it has watched your desire,
\n\u2028Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
\nNoticing how you willed yourself on,
\nStill unable to leave what you had outgrown.<\/p>\n

\nIt watched you play with the seduction of safety
\nAnd the gray promises that sameness whispered,
\nHeard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
\nWondered would you always live like this.<\/p>\n

\nThen the delight, when your courage kindled,
\nAnd out you stepped onto new ground,
\nYour eyes young again with energy and dream,
\nA path of plenitude opening before you.<\/p>\n

\nThough your destination is not yet clear
\nYou can trust the promise of this opening;
\nUnfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
\nThat is at one with your life\u2019s desire.<\/p>\n

\nAwaken your spirit to adventure;
\nHold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
\nSoon you will be home in a new rhythm,
\nFor your soul senses the world that awaits you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
