The Eternal is at Home

The eternal is at home – within you.

The eternal is not elsewhere; it is not distant.

There is nothing as near as the eternal….

Behind the façade of our normal lives eternal destiny is shaping our days and our ways.

                                                                John O’Donohue, Anam Cara, p.90

________________________________

we seek eternity

we strive to find paradise

we want to be shaped by Sacred power

so we study

and pray

we meditate

we travel to exquisite places

we climb into the heavens

we go to the ends of earth

seekers

yet all our seeking leaves us

homesick

and wanting still

until tired and without hope

we trudge home

only to find

that what we sought

we carried within

all along
