For Belonging
John O’Donahue
May you listen to your longing to be free. May the frames of your belonging be generous enough for your dreams. May you arise each day with a voice of blessing whispering in your heart. May you find a harmony between your soul and your life. May the sanctuary of your soul never become haunted. May you know the eternal longing that lives at the heart of time. May there be kindness in your gaze when you look within. May you never place walls between the light and yourself. May you allow the wild beauty of the invisible world to gather you, mind you and embrace you in belonging.

We needed to do more than resist. We need to reimagine the world. - Valarie Kaur
POETRY + BLESSINGS
May all that is unforgiven in you
Be released.
May your fears yield
Their deepest tranquilities.
May all that is unlived in you
Blossom into a future
Graced with love.
~John O’Donohue
grandmother. mother. daughter. i stand
on the sacrifices
of a million women before me
thinking ‘what can i do
to make this mountain taller
so the women after me
can see farther’

QUOTES
“All that you are seeking is also seeking you. If you lie still, sit still, it will find you. It has been waiting for you a long time.”
– Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“This is the first, wildest, and wisest thing I know, that the soul exists, and that it is built entirely out of attention.” – Mary Oliver
“I have found that you only have to take that one step towards the gods and they will then take ten steps towards you. That step, the heroic first step of the journey, is out of or over the edge of, your boundaries, and it often must be taken before you know that you will be supported.”
– Diane Osbon (quoting Joseph Campbell) – A Joseph Campbell Companion
“Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth’s treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal… To hope is to give yourself to the future – and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.”
― Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark
“I’ll tell you right now, the doors to the world of the wild self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door; if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much that you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Every time we choose courage, we make everyone around us a little better and the world a little braver. — Brene Brown
“Look closely at the present you are constructing:
it should look like the future you are dreaming.”
― Alice Walker
“Hard times require furious dancing. Each of us is proof.” – Alice Walker
