Program Description: If any growth is going to happen in the spiritual area," says John O'Donohue, "you need a bit of stillness, a bit of silence; then there can be a return, and a retrieval, and a reawakening." With elegant eloquence this Irish Catholic priest and poet tells us how to speak to our souls, to listen to stones, and to enrich our lives with what's already there. He reminds us that we don't have to journey far to find wisdom: "If you are true to yourself and if you let yourself alone, you will receive all that you need." Furthermore: "If there is a spiritual journey, it's about a quarter of an inch long!" And O'Donohue is offering us a glimpse of the roadmap. 1 hour
He is the author of Echoes of Memory (Salmon Publishing 1994), Stone as the Tabernacle of Memory, and other books of reflections on the spiritual qualities of stone, fire, air and water (printed by Clodoiri Lurgan, U.K. 1994-95).
