Voids And Empty Spaces

I place on the altar of dawn: 
The quiet loyalty of breath, 
The tent of thought where I shelter, 
Waves of desire I am shore to
 And all beauty drawn to the eye. 

May my mind come alive today 
To the invisible geography 
that invites me to new frontiers, 
To break the dead shell of yesterdays, 
To risk being disturbed and changed. 

May I have the courage today 
To live the life that I would love, 
To postpone my dream no longer 
But do at last what I came here for 
And waste my heart on fear no more.
 
John O'Donohue
Excerpt from, 'A Morning Offering' BENEDICTUS (Europe) / TO BLESS THE SPACE BETWEEN US (US)

A Morning Offering, By John O'Donohue, music Solfeggio 528 Hz, Narrator M. J. Hummingway

Martin Shaw is a mythologist and storyteller from the area of Devon, England. He and I share a deep appreciation for the way myth and story shape the world. Martin starts our conversation with a story about Fox Woman Dreaming that is still with me months later, working inside me. We go on to talk about exile, the nature of magic, stories and relationship, decolonizing the imagination, and lots more. It was a really heady and passionate conversation.
