May you recognize in your life the presence,
power, and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging
connects you intimately
with the rhythm of the Universe.
with the rhythm of the Universe.
May you have respect
for your individuality and difference.
for your individuality and difference.
May you realize ...
that the shape of your soul is unique,
that the shape of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the facade of your life
there is something beautiful and eternal happening.
May you learn to see your Self
with the same delight, pride, and expectation
with which God sees you in every moment
John O’Donohue
