I just HAD to post it. My dear Jack (a biologist of some repute) was sitting next to me as we watched and listened. We were both chastened and dumbstruck!

As he says, Barefoot College is “a place of learning and unlearning: where the teacher is the learner and the learner is the teacher.” Please watch this and think on’t! For me, this talk was inspirational.

“Roy’s idea is that India and Africa are full of people with skills, knowledge and resourcefulness who are not recognised as engineers, architects or water experts but who can bring more to communities than governments or big businesses.”

As most of you already know, at the age of 78, I have taken a huge leap into a new, and deepening, love affair. When I read John O’ Donohue’s words – they explained exactly what both Jack and I are experiencing. Of course, this poem is encouraging leaps into the unknown, in whatever form they may appear. My most recent leap happened to be into love with another, what could yours be?

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.

~ John O’Donohue ~
