However, seeing this image, reading the accompanying poem (see below), has renewed that desire... What a work of art! O'Donohue's poem has the same affect on me as Mary Oliver's "The Journey": it winds me up and awakens the nomad, traveler, sojourner Goddess in me.
Dare I?
Your soul alone has the map of your future,
therefore you can trust this indirect, oblique side of yourself.
If you do, it will take you where you need to go,
but more important it will teach you a kindness of rhythm
in your journey.
-John O'Donohue
