It is to come into rhythm with your own deepest nature & belonging”

John O’Donohue in “Anam Cara: Wisdom from the Celtic World”

 Dear Friends,

 This wisdom from John O’Donohue has been a deep source of sustenance for me over the past 3 years.  So often, we search outside ourselves for that which we hope will bring us wholeness and peace.  But the truth is already within us.  Just as the blueprint for the majestic oak is present within the tiny acorn, each of us is born with a unique blueprint in the seed of our souls; a blueprint for how Spirit intends for us to unfold. 

Spiritual life is about giving yourself space and time to “come into rhythm with your own deepest nature and belonging,” so that seed can take root and flourish.   No one else can fulfill your destiny for you.  Each of us has our own unique vision to bring to birth.  Though we may look to kindred spirits for support and nurturance, ultimately our unfolding happens in those moments of solitude and renewal, when we turn to Spirit and to the wisdom embedded in our own bodies and souls, and relax into the truth of our own essence with absolute trust.

 As we enter into the freedom of Summer, may each of you find time to nourish the soul seed that is your unique essence.  Connect deeply with your own inner rhythm and the rhythm of nature.  Give yourself space to unfold your vision in its own time.  Dream, Dance, Sing, Love, Play, Relax into your deepest nature and know you are held in the tender bonds of belonging and soul friendship. 

 Blessings and Deep Peace to Each of You,       Jeanne Marie
