I discovered John's poems today, the first day of 2024 - and his birthday. I think of this coincidence as a gentle yet powerful blessing for the year. I will carry his incredible insights with me in the journey of becoming who I am and living the life my heart wants. Blessings to you forever, John.
We’re all addicts. My addiction is thinking. When I frantically listen to political, economic, sociological talks I feel satisfied, but mildly edgy. I listen to John O’Donohue talks and my whole body relaxes.
The joy of dawn sun, so quickly there between forks of the oak, spreads soul filled heart into faint clouds, as the glow of a new day lights those inner and outer blues with promise, so let its rays dispel anxiety’s claw with its dazzling shafts of gold light, you are that light. John R Parsons
Absolutely dripping in wisdom. Always exquisitely beautiful words and incredible insights. Every time I read or hear John my heart sings so much louder.
I have been immensely gifted to find John O'Donohue, his poetry and being, and I am so grateful for this opportunity to open new doors for myself through his work.
I used to be fortunate to live by the sea. Sheltered by sweet smelling evergreens on one side of a gravel road my dog and I would walk listening to John’s words on beauty as I gazed onto the nearby islands and shimmering waters. His voice was soothing to my spirit and his words resonated in the deepest way as I experienced my surroundings . Thank you for posting this. I miss him and hope to see more of his works on your site.
What a prescient talk - about John’s own life, as well as ours. What a gift he left us with his writing and his speaking. I can’t imagine anyone not benefitting from this talk.
I feel like I have met an awesome friend, that we sat by the Sea and drank tea with cream, and left to be with an elderly woman who needs encouragement, then, I sent him my book of poetry when I arrived back in the states-what a sunset! May the protection of the ancestors be yours, John..
Wow! I have a few of his books, but to hear him speak with such beauty, wisdom & humour has utterly stunned me. I'm already searching for more of these talks❤
"To be honest, I don't think the will of God is that interesting, whereas I think the imagination of God is absolutely fascinating. In mediaeval scholastic times they used to have huge arguments about whether God HAD to create or not. And I always think God HAD to create because otherwise He'd be in some divine lunatic asylum, if he didn't express the plenitude of possibility that was within Him." A beautiful mind at work . . .
Only became acquainted with his writings recently, which drew together lots of threads for me. Although he is now dead, reading his stuff feels like a wise and encouraging hand on the shoulder.
Rhona Tolchard --I can so relate like gathering up the threads - the loose threads that I had thought and experienced for such a long time but we're lacking a gathering thread...so freeing, I will never be the same
I was recently introduced to the wonderful words of this beautiful soul through a book leant to me by a friend. The words truly channel God's intention. John wherever you are in spirit world, I am immense grateful for finding your voice.
Always Wonderful to hear John speak, my resonance with the essence of this deep subject of imagination and life. Thank you for sharing this. God rest his beautiful soul.
So much food for thought and reflection here. Tomorrow 14 years ago John's life here on earth at least ended,however may he have experienced being known as intimately by God in God's presence as he shared in his talk here. He continues to be a blessing through his writings and recordings such as this. Thank you.
53:25 you predicted what's going on today 🤔 😳 👀 I am totally with you and if you can hear me, on my birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 today, I received the message I've been waiting all my life. I'm awake and aware a ready to write ✍ in that journal my real biography, not the people's perception of me. In the second scene of my journey in my late 50s, I'm grateful with a contented heart ❤ to thank my God for creative minds like you. I came to awareness not by chance But by choice And every time I chose something I know I missed out on something else But I know deep down I walked on this earth 🌎 With an awaken heart ❤ Love&peace to all
I just discovered and began absorbing by bits and pieces...the astonishing thing is that every thought, such as on birth and death I have had those thoughts too...l can't get enough...thank you John for for immortality
Thanks so much for downloading this.I have read some of his books but listening to him and the true Irish accent really have a great impact.Love him, such a shame he died si young.Thanks.Felisa
Felisa Roldan order the DVD on him-it's about his annual tour to his childhood home in west Ireland, and teachings and the landscape and sacred Celtic sites...it's wonderful!
"we never see anothers experience. all we see is theyre behavior RDLang" "everything we do is guided by thought"J O'donahue Know and love your inner self..".to thine own heart be true"... " the mind altering alters all." " never be beset by others expectations.".... thank you John
Check out the Beautiful music of Clannad, an Irish group. Their music is a lovely accompaniment to O’Donohue....it carries me to a higher level of peace and contentment.

“I would love to live
Like a river flows
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding”
💚
amazing ..heard that too suzie 😊
The joy of dawn sun, so quickly there
between forks of the oak, spreads soul
filled heart into faint clouds, as the glow
of a new day lights those inner and outer
blues with promise, so let its rays dispel
anxiety’s claw with its dazzling shafts
of gold light, you are that light.

A treasure ❤️
Shame that we can't learn from him as much now. But we can live through him. He carried my soul when i had to carry my dead across the thresshold.
So much wisdom to take with me in these tumultuous times.
His words speak to my soul...miss him, but so grateful his words live on through his writings and videos

34:41 - .."one of the real difficulties in a relationship is to keep the crust of familiarity from forming over it completely"
Justin F He talks about that early in his seminal book Anam Cara...you will find relief and answers there
A wonderful, enriching, moving and funny talk from John. Thank you so much. 🙏❤
Life is meant to "be" lived...in this human body....Find the abundance, beauty and wonder!! :)
Love this about listening to the 7 thoughts we have getting a blank white page so I can and enjoy my feeling s of aloneness ☘️
Love him so much philosophy of my own full life so I can die honourably Life is the great Sacrement 🕊️☘️
Love his perspective on Sin being stuck in woundedness ❤️☘️
There are a lot of people who don't get to live the life the want and It's not their fault.
True. It would be good to hear how to live in those circumstances.

My "HUMANOID" heart has been opened even wider by this Avatars wisdom! xooxxo
Although John's humanoid body has left the earth, his spirit and presence is radiating my heart! I love him!
When the pain of staying the same is great er than the pain of change...... we emerge awakened........ this comes form Alcoholics Anonymous!

Thanks so much for posting this. It's a treasure I didn't know that we had. Does anyone know where was he speaking? I'm guessing UK.
It was at Greenbelt Festival, in the UK.
🙏❤️
How does this APPLY to people like to Jeffery Dahmer, Ted Bundy, or John Wayne Gacy?
14:50
Anyone know how he died?
I read heart attack. Can't confirm.
