Our January Tuesday nights have continued to illuminate our souls and refresh our spirits. The writings and teachings of John O'Donohue, Celtic theologian and poet, are profound to say the least. Listen to this Celtic benediction he laid on us last night...

"May you recognize in your life the presence and power and light of your soul;
 May you realize that you are never alone, but that your soul in its brightness and belonging
   connects you intimately with the rhythm of the universe;
 May you have respect for your own individuality and difference;
 And may you realize that the shape of your soul is unique, that you have a special destiny
    here, and that behind the facade of your life, there is something beautiful and good and
    eternal happening in you;
 May you learn to see yourself with the same delight and pride and happiness with
   which God sees you in every moment."

Wow! We spent time contemplating the implications of this in silence and candlelight and then shared some of the fruits of our individual and collective reflection.

On Tuesday, January 22, we will listen to O'Donohue's teaching on the mind and on ways of shifting our often limited perspective. Hope you will join us at Yoga Roots, 444 E. Mitchell St. from 7:30-8:30. ALL are welcome, regardless of religious perspective. We choose to practice together rather than to debate.
