My gift for you this Christmas is an excerpt from John O’Donohue’s Benedictus: A Book of Blessings. The background artwork is my own.

Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and a joyful and creative New Year.

“May my mind come alive today
To the invisible geography
That invites me to new frontiers,
To break the dead shell of yesterdays,
To risk being disturbed and changed.

May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer,
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.”

(excerpt from ‘A Morning Offering’ in Benedictus: A Book of Blessings by John O’Donohue)
