Sweet Darkness (from Anam Cara by John O'Donohue)
When your eyes are tired the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own.
There you can be sure you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb tonight.
The night will give you a horizon further than you can see.
You must learn one thing. The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn

Your beautiful tribute made me cry. I've read Anam Cara and I love it... often post quotes from it on FB... I didn't realised he had passed on... Thanks for sharing. He is deeply missed. Love & Light, Lisa
Hello Lisa, thank you so much for this beautiful, heartfelt comment. I agree that Anam Cara is worthy of many quotes...it's a wonderful book and if you haven't heard the audio recording in John's own voice, you're missing something truly special. :) I would miss him if he weren't so close, but I know he hasn't truly gone anywhere. Peace ~ Suze
Suze, thanks for your kind words, I bought myself a copy of Anam Cara and found the story J O'D was talking about. The book is an inspirational read, incidently John was from Fanore Co. Clare, which is only about 30 miles away from my home. Peace and Love.
So glad you found the story you were searching for...that is wonderful! It's easy to understand why John's words appeal so much to you... countrymen and of like minds! Best always... Suze
