"Behind every face there is something
eternal going on,"
John O’Donohue
Who is John O’Donohue?
John O'Donohue is an inspiring Irish poet, philosopher,
contemporary mystic and original thinker. I love his poem and specially
writing on awakening the soul and walking the unknown
When your soul is born, when it awakens anew, you begin to inherit your
true life, the one you were meant for. You leave the kingdom of fake
surfaces, repetitive talk, and weary roles and slip deeper into the
true adventure of who you are and who you are being called to become.
The greatest friend of the soul is the unknown.
Yet we are afraid of the unknown because it lies outside
our vision and our control. We avoid it or quell it by filtering it
through our protective barriers of domestication and control. This way,
however, never leads home.
