John O'Dononhue: For Belonging

I just learned today of the death of one of my cousins. And my heart aches. This is for Anna and for all of us who have and who are struggling with a sense of connection and belonging, with trust and vulnerability and authenticity, with understanding and voicing and meeting our true needs, with establishing safe and supportive community among friends and family, and with feeling worthy and seen and loved. Bless us all, no exceptions. 🙏💗Molly

For Belonging

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 be 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.
