3 Minute Retreat: Longing

Blessed be the longing that brought you here
And quickens your soul with wonder.
May you have the courage to listen to the voice of desire that disturbs you when you have settled for something safe.
May you have the wisdom to enter generously into your own unease to discover the new direction your longing wants you to take.
May the forms of your belonging -- in love, creativity and friendship --be equal to the grandeur and the call of your soul.

​-JOHN O'DONOHUE

Have you ever stopped to wonder what brought you here? Consider for a moment the wonder that enlightens your soul in the steps you are walking when you take the time to look around you and see it. We don't always want to embrace the responsibility of opening our eyes, for the path may seem scary or uncertain.

When we go within and truly to truly answer this question, a sense of longing comes to light.
  
What is your yearning desire?
Are you living it fully?
