“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.”
John O’Donohue, “Beginnings,”
from To Bless the Space Between Us
(The above shared for the Blesstival by Mari Braveheart-Dances via email.)
Let’s weave a blessing from it…
May we adventure forth and find myriad unexpected blessings hidden in the invisible geography; and may we have the heartful courage to live into the new frontiers.
Big Love,

Lovely. I extra appreciate this one – lots of dead shell molting over here. (all the better to compost!) Which reminds me that composting takes it’s own good time, too. Cheers to new frontiers. Thanks ladies.

Cheers to new frontiers. Good one. And yes, the ‘releasing the dead shells’ also brings to mind one of my favorite Rumi-wisdom bits … taking the pearls, and leaving the shells behind. (My top favorite Rumi bit involves being drunk and standing at the edge of the roof … hmm, that’d be good to share if I haven’t already. :). xoxo to you and Jack!

Yes, that’s a good one to share! My favorite quote from the edge, from F. Scott Fitzgerald, “Draw your chair up close to the edge of the precipice and I’ll tell you a story.”

Ha ha, good one. There’s a bit of Trickster humor in that invitation to the edge. 🙂 Like Regina Sara Ryan’s quip about those who ‘picnic at the edge of the chasm’. Thanks for sharing the F. Scott Fitz bit. xoxo Love, Jamie
