John O'Donohue: When Love Awakens In Your Life

When love awakens in your life, 

in the night of your heart, 

it is like the dawn breaking within you. 

Where before there was anonymity, 

now there is intimacy; 

where before there was fear, 

now there is courage; 

where before in your life there was awkwardness, 

now there is a rhythm of grace and gracefulness; 

where before you used to be jagged, 

now you are elegant and in rhythm with your self. 

When love awakens in your life, 

it is like a rebirth, 

 new beginning.

 

— John O'Donohue
