\nby John O\u2019Donohue<\/strong><\/p>\n

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
\nWhere your thoughts never think to wander,
\nThis beginning has been quietly forming,
\nWaiting until you were ready to emerge.<\/p>\n

For a long time it has watched your desire,
\nFeeling the emptiness growing inside you,
\nNoticing how you willed yourself on,
\nStill unable to leave what you had outgrown.<\/p>\n

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
\nAnd the gray promises that sameness whispered,
\nHeard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
\nWondered would you always live like this.<\/p>\n

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
\nAnd out you stepped onto new ground,
\nYour eyes young again with energy and dream,
\nA path of plenitude opening before you.<\/p>\n

Though your destination is not yet clear
\nYou can trust the promise of this opening;
\nUnfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
\nThat is at one with your life\u2019s desire.<\/p>\n

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
\nHold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
\nSoon you will be home in a new rhythm,
\nFor your soul senses the world that awaits you.<\/p>\n
