Poem: "Beannacht"

Uploaded by speakingoffaith on Feb 21, 2008
Shortly before his death in 2008, the late Irish poet John O'Donohue recited his poem, meaning blessing, during an interview with Krista Tippett. We've woven his close friends' photographs of him in his Celtic landscapes with this reading.

such spirit and soul you have left for us in your bright and enchanting words. I feel rich having heard you speak your own beautiful poem, and blessed even more to be in the presence of those that love you and miss you - their words "echo" here on this page.... Fly High Gentle and Kind One, and thank you for your gift.

This is the most comforting blessing ever written.

I love you John and feel so comforted today hearing your words. I just discovered you on youtube!! I know you are wrapped in the arms of Love itself now...and your words are the hugs I need. Where you are you now you know how much gratitude I have for the words you left me that will support me for life as they speak Soul. I miss you my friend, My Anam Cara. Thank you. your Friend An,

I love his writing. The sound of his voice is an added bonus, it just generates peace.
