Additional quotes by John O'Donohue

[...] do not damage yourselves
By attending only at the hungry altar
Of regret and anger and guilt.

Each of us is an artist of our days; the greater our integrity and awareness, the more original and creative our time will become.

When you regain a sense of your life as a journey of discovery, you return to rhythm with yourself. When you take the time to travel with reverence, a richer life unfolds before you. Moments of beauty begin to braid your days.
