Divinely Inspired Words for Creative Entrepreneurship
Christmas (2020) My BFF sent me a book of poetry by John O’Donohue (whom I adore) and one of his musings, “For the Artist At The Start of The Day”, has inspired me to share.
All creative endeavors (including entrepreneurship) require resolve and commitment to venture into the unknown realms of possibility.
May these words refresh your creative soul...
“For the Artist At The Start of The Day” ~ by John O’Donohue
May morning be astir with the harvest of night;
Your mind quickening to the eros of a new question,
Your eyes seduced by some unintended glimpse
That cut right through the surface to a source.
May this be a morning of innocent beginning,
When the gift within you slips clear
Of the sticky web of the personal
With its hurt and its hauntings,
And fixed fortress corners,
A morning when you become a pure vessel
For what wants to ascend from silence,
May your imagination know
The grace of perfect danger,
To reach beyond imitation,
And the wheel of repetition,
Deep into the call of all
The unfinished and unsolved
Until the veil of the unknown yields
And something original begins
To stir toward your senses
And grow stronger in your heart
In order to come to birth
In a clean line of form,
That claims from time
A rhythm not yet heard,
That calls space to
A different shape.
May it be its own force field
And dwell uniquely
Between the heart and the light
To surprise the hungry eye
By how deftly it fits
About its secret loss.

A Quote to Lick n’ Chew on…
(I especially invite you to ‘lick and chew on this particular stanza)
May this be a morning of innocent beginning,
When the gift within you slips clear
Of the sticky web of the personal
With its hurt and its hauntings,
And fixed fortress corners,
A morning when you become a pure vessel
For what wants to ascend from silence…
~John O’Donohue
