Description:
When we stand before crucial thresholds in our lives, observes Irish poet and philosopher John O'Donohue, we have no rituals to protect, encourage, and guide us as we cross over into the unknown. For such crossings, we need to find new words. On To Bless the Space Between Us, O'Donohue presents a four-CD adaptation of his latest thought-provoking book, providing comfort and insights to illuminate the passage of our life path.
Following seven rhythms of the human journey - Beginnings, Desires, Thresholds, Homecoming, States of the Heart, Callings, and Beyond Endings - more than eighty poetic and gracious invocations in this collection can be used as tools for self-transformation, as meditations for deeper contemplation, or as simple prayers for ourselves or our loved ones. With blessings For Love in a Time of Conflict, For Belonging, For Equilibrium, On Meeting a Stranger, In Praise of Earth, and many more, these lyrical selections will invite you to awaken your own power to bless, and will suggest to you the secret world of healing and plenitude and providence that encircles, shelters, and guides your every breath and step.
To Bless the Space Between Us features the music of Irish harpist Áine Minogue.
Biography:
John O’Donohue (1956-2008) In early January 2008, the Sounds True family was deeply saddened by the loss of the Irish poet-philosopher John O’Donohue. John was a one-of-a-kind force of nature: a genius with words, a brilliant thinker, and a professional excavator of the soul. He will truly be missed.
John O’Donohue was an Irish poet and Catholic scholar who was awarded a Ph.D. in philosophical theology from the University of Tubingen. He wrote several books including Anam Cara; Air: Breath of God; Stone as the Tabernacle of Memory; Water: The Tears of the Earth; and Echoes of Memory, a book of poems. John authored the Sounds True audio programs Anam Cara, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace, and Wisdom from the Celtic World. His final work was To Bless the Space Between Us, a collection of Celtic invocations and blessings.
